+Cactus Code Thorn LAPACK
+Author(s)    : Erik Schnetter
+Maintainer(s): Cactus team
+Licence      : ?
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+1. Purpose
+
+Distribute the Linear Algebra Package (LAPACK); see
+<http://netlib.org/lapack/>.
+
+
+
+From the web site:
+
+LAPACK is written in Fortran 90 and provides routines for solving
+systems of simultaneous linear equations, least-squares solutions of
+linear systems of equations, eigenvalue problems, and singular value
+problems.  The associated matrix factorizations (LU, Cholesky, QR,
+SVD, Schur, generalized Schur) are also provided, as are related
+computations such as reordering of the Schur factorizations and
+estimating condition numbers.  Dense and banded matrices are handled,
+but not general sparse matrices.  In all areas, similar functionality
+is provided for real and complex matrices, in both single and double
+precision.
