Description:	This is approximately the IBM/360 Scientific Subroutine
Package (SSP), modified to run using F4P.  It should be independent of
operating system (i.e. RSX-11M, D, or IAS).  There is no guarantee that
the routines will compile as supplied using FOR, but they might.  The
supplied OLB file is the result of compilation w/ F4P, version 2.50,
with the default switches of optimization and TR:BLOCKS.

System reqts:	As compiled, requires FPP hardware (11/34,45,55,60,70).
Speed and space obviously vary greatly from one routine to another.

Documentation:	None internally (including NO comments in source).  For
description of subroutines see:
IBM System/360 Scientific Subroutine Package Programmer's Manual
Document # GH20-0205-4  (or more recent version, if one exists)

Status:		No compilation errors.  It is well known that for some
situations this library does not use the latest or best algorithms for
solving a given problem.  However, it is widely used.

Desired enhancements:	Further information on run characteristics on
PDP-11s, and/or further documentation on peculiarities of various subroutines.

Support:	The librarian will endeavor to keep a file of reported
problems, fixes, etc., but this is a use-at-your-own-risk package.
