and an HPF interface to a subset of ScaLAPACK routines.

These software contributions are classified as prototype codes
because they are still under development and their calling sequences
may change.  They have been tested only on a limited number of
architectures and have not been rigorously tested on all of the
architectures to which the ScaLAPACK library is portable.

The SuperLU Users' Guide (superlu_ug.ps) contains information on SuperLU
and SuperLU_MT.  For further details on the development of SuperLU_MT,

Please note that the HPF interface software was tested on compilers
compliant with the HPF1.1 standard.
