Re: BZDEV: About the egcs 1.0.x releases

        By the way, I have read the array documentation that comes
with blitz. Here are a few minor typos and wishes for clarifications that might
be interesting to correct. Also, I have changed the configure.in to
incorporate a --with-blas option that allows the specification of the
directory where to find the blas library. If there is some interest
for that, I can retest and provide it.

        I'm really interested to use blitz (matrices and vectors
essentially) soon... It looks great even though I have been doing
only limited tests until now due to my compiler's limitations.
If I can help with something, let me know.

        Theo.

 
On page 6:

        bzsubsubsect(Performance tuning for the T3E)
        A missing \ ?

On page 16:

        The figure is wrong: the upper cube corresponds to
              A(Range(5,7),Range(5,7),Range(0,2))
        The corresponding text is on page 17.

On page 19:

        The last line of the first example should be
         << A(Range(fromStart,toEnd,2)) << endl; // [ 0 2 4 6 ]

On page 29:

        What is COMMENT(void resize(Range r1,...);) ???
        A missing \ ?

On page 34:

        Here's a plot of the resulting array:
        (there is no plot after). Maybe a use the figure number 1.3.

On page 37:

        In the example, C = A/cast(B,float());
        Why does the default mecanism of adopting the type of the first
        argument is not invoked ??? Following the logic the result should
        be of the same type a A (i.e. an array of integers).
        A small explanantion would be great....

On page 44:

        C = sum(A(i,k)*B(k,j),k);

        An explanation of what means the use of a thirdIndex in arrays that
        have only two indexes would be welcome... Is this the thirdIndex of C ??
