One of our professors spent last year on sabatical at Oxford University where he discovered the "IMSL Subroutines". (IMSL was not defined for me.) He says that they are a collection of routines that are readily available and easy to use. He is an excellent medical physicist and a 'getting by' programmer. The questions are: (1) Is there a way to get the "IMSL Subroutines" for our VAX? (2) Failing 1, is there anything like that collection that will run on our VAX?

"The IMSL Library is a collection of 450 [this may have been increased] subroutines that serve as building blocks in the development of Fortran application programs [but since they conform to the VAX calling standard one can really call them from any VAX language]." These subroutines are primarily mathematical and statistical in nature: analysis of variance, basic statistics, categorized data analysis, differential equations; quadrature; differentiation, eigensystem analysis, forecasting; econometrics; time seriesl transforms, generating and testing of random numbers, interpolation; approximation; smoothing, linear algebraic equations, mathematical and statistical special functions, nonparametric statistics, observation structure; multivariate statistics, regression analysis, sampling, utility functions, vector & matrix arithmetic, zeros and extrema; linear programming. We have had the library here at Clark for a number of years but it was not sufficiently utilized to warrant the maintenance fees and we dropped it last year. I suggest you contact IMSL, Inc at: 2500 ParkWest Tower One 2500 CityWest Boulevard Houston, Texas 77042-3020 713-782-6060 P.S.
