Subject:LAPACK DISTRIBUTION 

To all prospective LAPACK users!

Due to the recent mail on the network concerning the availability
of LAPACK we thought that we should send a brief message.

We prefer that you DO NOT ftp or redistribute LAPACK to others, but 
that you direct them to netlib, xnetlib, and/or NAG.  The reason for not
wanting secondary distribution is that we would not be able to contact
those users when revisions and updates to the software occur.

The entire LAPACK package is available via xnetlib and NAG, or specific
routines can be obtained via netlib.  To see a description of the contents
of LAPACK, send email to netlib@ornl.gov and in the mail message type:
send index from lapack.

Xnetlib is an X-version of netlib recently developed at the University
of Tennessee and Oak Ridge National Laboratory.  Unlike netlib, which
uses electronic mail to process requests for software and other text,
xnetlib uses an X Window graphical user interface and a socket-based
connection between the user's machine and the xnetlib server machine to
process software requests. The complete contents of LAPACK is available
in tar/compress format from xnetlib.

To receive a copy of xnetlib send the message "send xnetlib.shar from
xnetlib" to netlib@ornl.gov.

When you receive the shar file, remove the mail header, save it to a
file, type 'sh filename' and follow the instructions in the README
file.

Alternatively, after March 20th, the complete LAPACK package can be 
obtained from NAG on magnetic media for a nominal handling charge.
