I am considering the purchase of the NAG Fortran Library, but have had no
experience with it. From the brochure, it appears that the NAG library will
meet all my needs. I would appreciate hearing from those of you who are
familiar with IMSL and NAG. What I am looking for are comments about ease
of usage, reliability, etc. Please email to me at the address below.

Hi, sort of stumbled upon your NAG compiler debate at an opportune time.

I'm doing some test runs of some FORTRAN programs that were sent to me
from someone at U. of Waterloo.  The problem is that these programs
call subroutines from the NAG (Numerical Algorithms Group) library and
here at Acadia no one seems to have heard of it.

I was referred to a math prof here, but he's away on sabbatical and
obviously can't help.  Can anyone out there help by suggesting an
ftp site or something?  I'd appreciate as much help as you can offer.

Joe
