- There is a libblas.a in /usr/lib/cmplrs/cc2.1/libblas.a on Ultrix 4.2a, but
- it doesn't include level 3 blas or double-complex level 2 blas. Furthermore
- I've tried linking with the routines which are there and they don't seem any
- faster than those that I've compiled myself. Pretty silly, huh?
-
- If you find any optimized versions out there, please let me know. If anyone
- from DEC is reading, please give us an optimized blas library.
