Matran (pronounced MAY-tran) is a Fortran 95 wrapper that implements matrix operations and computes matrix decompositions using Lapack and the Blas. This is a preliminary distribution of Matran, designed to get suggestions for its improvement. As such it is intended for personal use and may not be further distributed in modified or unmodified form. For further information on Matran and how to get and use it, see ftp://thales.cs.umd.edu/pub/Matran/Matran.html G. W. Stewart
