Thus a parameter described as real should be declared as DOUBLE PRECISION in your
program. If a routine accumulates an inner product in additional precision, it is using software
to simulate quadruple precision.

Least-squares and Eigenvalue Problems (LAPACK) use the LAPACK name, not the NAG
F07/F08 name. The LAPACK name is precision dependent, and hence the name appears in a
bold italicised typeface.

The typeset examples use the single precision form of the LAPACK name. To convert this name
to its double precision form, change the first character either from S to D or C to Z as
appropriate.

3.4. Explicit Output from NAG Routines
Certain routines produce explicit error messages and advisory messages via output units which
either have default values or can be reset by using X04AAF for error messages and X04ABF for
advisory messages. (The default values are given in

Section 4
). The maximum record lengths of
error messages and advisory messages (including carriage control characters) are 80 characters,
except where otherwise specified. These routines are potentially not thread safe and in general
output is not recommended in a multithreaded environment.

3.5. Interface Blocks
The NAG Fortran Library Interface Blocks define the type and arguments of each user callable
NAG Fortran Library routine. These are not essential to calling the NAG Fortran Library from
Fortran 90 programs. Their purpose is to allow the Fortran 90 compiler to check that NAG
Fortran Library routines are called correctly. The interface blocks enable the compiler to check
that:

(a) Subroutines are called as such

These interface blocks have been generated automatically by analysing the source code for the
NAG Fortran Library. As a consequence, and because these files have been thoroughly tested,
