/*       Readme file for SPLINE Files ****/

This Gauss library provides a range of routines based on
cubic smoothing splines. The library is provided in two
forms, one which requires an REX file and will only run on
the DOS version of Gauss, and the other which will run on
both Unix and DOS implementations. The version which uses
the REX file is significantly faster. These libraries
require Gauss386 v3.0 or later as they use the functions
BAND and BANSOLPD. Use in earlier versions of Gauss can
be facilitated by replacing calls in CSSPLINE of the form
x = bandsolpd(b,band(a,2)) with the slower x = solpd(b,a)
(at lines 83 & 87).

At this point, the REX version is not available in the source
code archive. Of the files below, only spl_doc.tex, spline.exp,
and spline.src are in the archive.

Files:

SPL_DOC.WP5   Wordperfect 5.1 document giving overview of splines
SPL_DOC.TEX   Latex document giving overview of splines
SPLINE.EXP    Example program showing use of spline procedures
SPLINE.SRC    Generic spline procedure library
SPLINE.PC     Faster version of spline procedure library which requires
              CSSPLINE.REX (only for PC versions of Gauss).
CSSPLINE.UUE  UUencoded form of CSSPLINE.REX
CSSPLINE.REX  Binary executible which must be placed in GAUSS\GXE directory
