    FAQ: The reference BLAS is a freely-available software package. 
    It is available from netlib via anonymous ftp and the World Wide Web. 
    Thus, it can be included in commercial software packages (and has been). 
    We only ask that proper credit be given to the authors.


==== datapac =====

    datapac:   Written by James Filliben, National Bureau of Standars.

           Our understanding is that the US Government cannot hold
