+Translated to C by Bonnie Toy 5/88
+
+LINPACK is a collection of Fortran subroutines that analyze and solve
+linear equations and linear least-squares problems. The package solves
+linear systems whose matrices are general, banded, symmetric indefinite,
+symmetric positive definite, triangular, and tridiagonal square. In
+addition, the package computes the QR and singular value decompositions of
+rectangular matrices and applies them to least-squares problems. LINPACK
+uses column-oriented algorithms to increase efficiency by preserving
+locality of reference.
+
+LINPACK was designed for supercomputers in use in the 1970s and early
+1980s. LINPACK has been largely superceded by LAPACK, which has been
+designed to run efficiently on shared-memory, vector supercomputers.
