I just discovered that with the new release of the Fortran compilers ,2.0 on the RISC machines, DEC has included copies of the Basic Linear Algebra Subroutines, or BLAS. I was pleased to discover that the sources seem to have been in assembler so presumably they are fairly optimized. Unfortunately they neglected to provide any documentation. Don't you guys think that you should try to document what you ship so we don't go and reinvent the wheel? I was also wondering when DEC intends to document the floating point exception handling routines which exist and are presumably holdovers from the mips software (or do they not work)? -castor fu castor@fizzle.stanford.edu
