===== How to use netlib =====

------------------
1. Email access
------------------
mail netlib@research.bell-labs.com
e.g. Subject: send sgesvx.f from lapack

Here are examples of the various kinds of requests.
Put it on the "Subject" line.
*  get the full index for a library
	send index from eispack
*  get a particular routine and all it depends on
	send dgeco from linpack
*  get just the one routine, not subsidiaries
	send only dgeco from linpack
*  get dependency tree, but excluding a subtree
	send dgeco but not dgefa from linpack
*  get all routines in a package  (usually a wasteful thing to do)
	send all from eispack
*  get all files in a netlib subtree
	send ode.shar
*  just tell how large a reply would be, don't actually send the file
	send list of dgeco from linpack
*  search for somebody in the SIAM membership list:
	who is Seongjai Kim
*  keyword search for netlib software
	find cubic spline
*  ask to be notified of new and changed files in a library
	subscribe eispack
The Internet email address "netlib@research.bell-labs.com" refers to a
machine at Bell Labs in Murray Hill, New Jersey.

2. Ftp
------------------
If ftp is more convenient for you than email, you may connect to one of
	netlib.bell-labs.com/netlib/
	ftp.netlib.org
	netlib.no
	unix.hensa.ac.uk/mirrors/netlib/
	nchc.gov.tw
	ftp.cs.uow.edu.au
	phase.etl.go.jp 
Login as "anonymous" and give your email address as password.
(This is read-only ftp, not telnet.)  Filenames ending in ".Z" or ".gz"
must be uncompressed after downloading.  Source code and executables for
a number of systems may be found in /netlib/gnu/gzip/.

In netlib/crc/ you'll find a list of files with modification times,
lengths, and checksums to assist people who wish to automatically track
changes.  Also, you may subscribe, as mentioned above, for automatic
notification of new files.

3. WWW
------------------
A third and possibly most convenient approach is to use a World Wide Web
browser, starting at
        http://netlib.bell-labs.com/netlib/master/readme.html.
