For Bruno Pape:

     I don't know of any public-domain software from IMSL or NAG.  In
both cases I believe you must pay for a developer's license to 
distribute software that uses their subroutines.

     Your customer should try NETLIB, from Argonne National Labs (USA).
To get an index of the software available by anonymous ftp, send mail
to "netlib@mcs.anl.gov".  This mail will be read automatically, and so
its contents must be precise; your message should read "send index".
Most, but not all, of IMSL's routines have an equivalent in NETLIB.
