We describe each of these projects here. On-line documentation is available for all routines. In this way users obtain the library, its documentation, and its source without expending any local disk space.
Updates are automatic.
For example, during 1994 the library file on the Cray Y-MP was referenced 2455 times. It is installed for general usage on selected NIST computers. The latest release, version 4.1, appeared in July, 1993. It is available over the Internet, in whole or in part, from Netlib. Minor coding corrections and documentation improvements are continuously being made by the committee in response to identified needs.
