+LINPACK is a collection of Fortran subroutines that analyze and solve
+linear equations and linear least-squares probles.  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  LINPACK has been largely superceded by LAPACK which has been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.
