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.
