#	BLACS directory
#	=====
#	This directory contains machine-specific versions of the
#       BLACS ( Basic Linear Algebra Communication Subprograms ).  The
#       platforms currently supported are:
#          MPI,
#          PVM,
#          IBM SP series (MPL),
#          Intel series (NX),
#          SGI Power Challenge (MPI),
#          Thinking Machines CM-5 (CMMD).
#       Several vendors are producing optimized versions of the BLACS
#       (e.g. Cray, IBM).
#
#       ****
#       NOTE:  Pre-built BLACS libraries are now available!
