Linear algebra packages in Ada

Linear algebra packages in Ada

[howland.reston.ans.net!paladin.american.edu!news.univie.ac.at!scsing.swit]

This is my first try to put a question onto the net. So please forgive
me if not all settings are correct.

The reason for my request is that I urgently need some good packages
for doing linear algebra. Can anybody give me a pointer to a source
for that. Most appreciated would be an interface to or an implementation
of the well know BLAS and LINPACK libraries.

Thanks, Michael

There are three DoD software reuse centers: DSRO, ASSET and at VCOE who
have been given millions of dollars to be able to answer such questions.
Go ask them - they can give you something better than my amateurish
answer.  And if you don't know who or where these centers are, pester
the DoD for funding people who have never heard of the Internet.

From time to time, I have responded to question outside of the internet
regarding Ada/software reuse etc.  Since it is our mission, ASSET's,
to develope a reuse market place, please send your reuse/ada questions	
to this bb and to me at asset:hueyc@source.asset.com.  Additionally, mind
you, you should get a subscription to Asset by sending a note to me or
beank@source.asset.com.  I can also be reached at 301-240-6450.

I'm very glad to see this post! One of my concerns - as you
know if you read comp.lang.ada - has been that various funded reuse/
repository/info organizations within the general Ada world have tended
to "sit waiting for the phone to ring" instead of reaching out e.g. to the
relevant Internet groups. In my opinion, our tax dollars are well-spent
in this sort of outreach. Keep it up! I hope to see you guys answering
pertinent questions as often as they arise.

There is, of course, no need for you to get into the shouting matches
into which the newsgroups often degenerate. I think we both believe that
if we raise the signal-to-noise ratio it will be good for everyone,
and will tend to cause the nay-sayers to pipe down because they will
have less to scream about. Let's all be voices of reason...

Cheers -
