@center{@b(Mark 11 of the NAG library)}

On March 15th, we will install a new version of the NAG library of
mathematical and statistical subroutines.  The Numerical Algorithms
Group, which is based in Oxford, England, uses the term "Mark" to denote
a release of the library.  Thus, Mark 11, is actually the 11th release
of the library.

The new library contains a total of 525 user-callable routines; 35 of
these routines are new in this Mark.  In addition, a number of routines
in Mark 10 have been revised to incorporate improvements to algorithms.
One of the routines from Mark 10 has been withdrawn.  This routine,
D01FAF, computed adaptive monte-carlo multidimensional integration.  NAG
recommends D01GBF as a replacement routine.

The following chapters have been updated with new routines:

@itemize{
Summation of Series

Maximizing or Minimizing a Function

Matrix Operations, Including Inversion

Eigenvalues and Eigenvectors

Simultaneous Linear Equations

Time Series Analysis

Approximations of Special Functions
}

Documentation for the new release is supplied as inserts to the current
manuals.  The document sets in the terminal rooms and libraries (??)
will be updated when the library is installed.  Along with information
about new and revised routines in Mark 11, the new NAG documentation
lists 12 routines which are scheduled to be withdrawn at Mark 12, with
suggested replacements.  People who have programs on-line which call NAG
subroutines should check the Mark 11 documentation for more information.

Mark 10 of the library will be kept on-line in
/usr/athena/lib/libnag10.a.  You can load this version with your
program, by appending the option -lnag10 to your f77, cc or ld command.
To access the current version of NAG, just use -lnag.
