The LAPACK functions SSBEVX (single precision) DSBEVX (double
precision) CHBEVX (Hermitian) compute eigenvalues for banded matrices
which may be selected by index (i.e., you may select the 7th through
20th eigenvalue) or by value (i.e., you may select eigenvalues greater
than some number and less than some number).  The eigenvectors are
also selected (or you may choose not to compute them at all).
   Let x be your desired data type, then send the following message to
netlib@research.att.com or to netlib@ornl.gov:
