	This directory contains the sources for the RLaB RANLIB
	library. The C 	subroutines herein were generated with f2c.
	Both f2c, and RANLIB are available from netlib. 

	Note that there is a native C version of this library
	available. The native C version has not been tried with RLaB
	because the f2c output should be compileable on more platforms
	(K&R style C).

	The command used to generate the C source was `f2c -R *.f'.
	The `-R' option was used to prevent f2c from making the ranlib
	functions return doubles. This way we can link with either
	Fortran compiled ranlib, or f2c compiled ranlib.

	To make:

	1) Type `./configure'

	The options configure will recognize:

	--with-prefix=install_dir_pathname

	--with-cc=full_cc_pathname
	--with-ld=full_ld_pathname
	--with-ar=full_ar_pathname
	--with-ranlib=full_ranlib_pathname

	These options are designed to allow users to specify alternate
	programs to use so that cross compiling can be performed. If
	you are compiling this library for a native platform then you
	should not need to specify any options.

	2.) Type `make'

	3.) Type `make -n install'

	The default installation directory is `/usr/local/lib'. If you
	wish to install the library in another directory the do:
	
		make -n install prefix=/usr/wherever/lib

	3a) If you are satisfied with the "make install" command
	output, then retype the command without the `-n'.
