[Pardon my directing this array processor question to INFO-VAX.  Can anyone
direct me to an "info-ap" or "info-fps" list?  Anyway, there are a lot of FPS
array processors on VAXes out there.]

We use a Floating Point Systems FPS-5205 (nee AP-120B) array processor, and we
need to compute the determinant of a square matrix (it's positive definite
too, if that helps any).  The FPS library has an assortment of matrix routines,
but not this (which surprises me).  Has anyone cobbled one up?
