[comp.sys.sgi] IMSL substitutes?

root@sgzh.uucp (Bruno Pape) (05/08/90)

I have a customer, not connected to the net, who has been using the IMSL
routines in software he writes.  He would now like to distribute the 
software so he needs to find some public domain "equivalent" package(s).

Does anyone have any information on public domain software distributed by
IMSL such as ICEPACK, LINPACK, or MINPACK?  Or on software distributed by
The Numeric Analysis Group, NAG, out of the UK?  Or any other posibilities.

Thanks on behalf of Klaus,

Bruno

Try netlib, *a system for distribution of mathematical software by
electronic mail*.  Reams of public-domain software is available,
including LINPACK and EISPACK.  The system is maintained by
Argonne National Labs.  Just send mail to netlib@ornl.gov with
lines like *send index* or *send dgeco from linpack*.  A script
will *read* your request and mail you back source code or other
requested information, typically in a few minutes.
