Has anyone experience with the Toolpack/1 release
from NAG?
Toolpack is a suite of Fortran software tools. They provide
(reading from the brochure) tools to assist the production,
testing, maintenance and transportation of medium-sized math
software projects written in standard FORTRAN 77.
Toolpack/1 is the first release of this package from NAG,
Numerical Algorithms Group, 1101 31st St., Suite 100,
Downers Grove, Ill 60515-1263.
I would like to hear about it from anyone who has seen/used
it. Also, does anyone know if it is available on an Apollo
workstation?

We've acted as a test site for Toolpack/1 for the last 18 months - theres a
lot of very useful Fortran 77 tools available in the suite ( it's worth
the 90 pounds distribution fee for the pretty printer!)
There is a specially tailored C interface library which gives a very
respectable performance under Unix. I've had all the tools except
newton and istci running on our 11/780&11/750 under 4.2bsd.
Toolpack has been implemented on an Apollo workstation, in fact the majority
of the development work takes place on this machine. For more details
contact Bob Iles, NAG Central Office, Mayfield House, 256 Banbury Road,
Oxford, U.K. ( nag@ucl-cs.ARPA will also reach him sometimes)
If any one wants any more details of the Tools available or mounting
it under Unix - feel free to mail me.
