I've had problems trying to email copies of the source to people
who have asked for Frank's latest copy of the Livermore Loops,
aka the MFLOPS program, the Livermore Fortran Kernels (LFK), etc.

There are a couple of problems:
1) the source, mostly comments, is nearly 300KB in size.
2) The comments are mostly the results of runs.  Frank did a neat thing,
the results of various runs are place back into the source code
making the source a database of results.
3) UUCP has a default limit of 100KB.  I cannot always insure a remote
site has uuencode/uudecode, compress/uncompress.
4) I have to check NISTLIB as to why the server there is not working.
You might also try netlib, but you might have the same limit (Dongarra
may have split(1) the file into three parts.

I personally like Frank's Loops alot, even if they do not run very long
on a Cray.  They have their problems, but the source is well thought out.

If you still want me to send them, keep trying, yes I know about mailers....
Another rambling later this evening before I go skiing in Utah.
