I am about to begin writing a FORTRAN tutor share-ware program
for IBM-DOS machines.  It will be like more-or-less hypertext style
on a Mac.

I consider to include three main subjects; FORTRAN grammar as intro
ductory, some numerical analysis techniques, mixing with other languages.
The reasons why I intend to write a tutor program
1) It may be of my opnion that there are very few good decent books
   for the sophore level.
2) Although FORTRAN itself is a standard scientific language, there
   seems no tutor program available.

I plan to add some routines from BLAS, MINPACK, LINPACK and so on.
Is it illegal to add these routine in my programs? I understand
that I can't do with IMSL, NAG routines.  Are these routines really
like public domain program ?

I am also soliciting ideas for my hypertext FORTRAN programs.
Although I have some knowledge of FORTRAN, I never taught at the
University class. I wish to have some feedbacks from those who
taught at the class.

Your help, comments and suggestion in this regards is highly
appreciated. Thanks in advance.
