The source for the I/O and function libraries, the required header
file, and the complete source for the translator are currently
available.  As Richard said, for full details, send a one line message
of the form `send index from f2c' to netlib at research.att.com.

I only had one small problem in getting it to work here, and that
was my fault -- I didn't read the documetation carefully enough before
typing `make'.  Once I changed one #define, everything worked
smoothly.
