I'm looking for an IMSL library for 4.[23]BSD. I thought I saw it somewhere when I got some other sources not too long ago. Ftp preferred.

Ftp preferred. > Thanks, > > Steve Dempsey steved@longs.LANCE.ColoState.Edu I mailed this to the last person who posted a similar request not long ago, but will post it now, for the general benefit of all [wo]*mankind (-: The IMSL math and statistics libraries are definitely *not* public domain (thought many of their algorithms are based on algoritihms and code which are, such as LINPACK, EISPACK, etc.). They are also not cheap, and have different prices for different target machines. My advice on IMSL: stay away from it if possible since you can't take it with you. Opt for the public domain packages wherever possible. In any case, if you want to get more information, write to IMSL 2500 ParkWest Tower One 2500 CityWest Boulevard Houston, TX 77042-3020 Note: They also handle the official distribution of many public domain subroutine packages, but you probably won't get any info on them unless you specifically request it. Ask for information on their `distribution service'. It is also possible to obtain most everything they offer through their distribution service over the net... (are tapes obsolete yet? :-) Another note: Though it should be obvious, I am in no way connected with IMSL, never have been, never hope to be, etc. Hope this helps, J.
