EISPACK is available from either IMSL (approx cost $75) or free (?) from
the Argonne Code Centre, Argonne National Laboratory, Argonne, 
Illinois 60439. I think the code centre will only service US sites.

Argonne have a code distribution service over the ARPAnet, I assume it
is public but you may like to check with DONGARRA@ANL-MCS.ARPA.
If you mail NETLIB@ANL-MCS.ARPA the message

send eispack

and provided the size restrictions on mailing large files allow it,
EISPACK will arrive by mail. If you are only interested in individual
routines sent the message

send routine from eispack

all dependencies come as well.

We've implemented the whole package on our vax11/750, 11/780 running
4.2bsd making any code changes at all and it worked fine.

Documentation of the routines is provided in

1) Garbow B.S. et al "Matrix Eigensystem Routines - EISPACK Guide Extension"
Lecture Notes in Computer Science Vol 51 1977

and
2) Smith B.T. et al "Matrix Eigensystem Routines - EISPACK Guide "
Lecture Notes in Computer Science Vol 6 1976

they retail approx $10 apiece and contain a lot more info than just
how to use the routines.
