I am not sure on the official meaning of the acronymn although I have always
thought it stood for "Engineering/Scientific Subroutine Library". But, in
any case, it is a Fortran library. It is also available for AIX/370 along
with vsfortran which generates vectorized code for the 3090 vector facility.
Although we "support" it in some sense (not the 6000 version, obviously),
I have never seen any documentation, so I am not familiar with what sort
of routines it provides. I know there are other actual users of this package
out there on the net, perhaps one of them could enlighten us?
