But they were all wrong!

Many of IMSL's routines, particularly LINPACK and EISPACK, were
developed with your tax dollars and are avaliable for free, via
e-mail.  Send mail to netlib@anl-mcs.ARPA (Argonne National Labs)
with the message "send index", and you'll find out how to get your
very own copy of lots and lots of FORTRAN.

You pay IMSL for library services, not code.
