          Development Kit

          AV-PRYGJ-TE



          1  DXML Version 3.4 Development Kit

          The DXML Version 3.4 Development Kit is supported on Compaq's
          DIGITAL UNIX Version 4.0 through Version 4.0D.

          The major change in DXML V3.4 since the V3.3a ECO release (April
          1998) is that the SCIPORT library now obtains its BLAS and
          LAPACK code from the DXML library instead of including it. The
          user must link in either the serial or parallel DXML library.

          The kit includes the following subsets:

          o  XMDLOA340 - serial library

          o  XMDPLL340 - parallel library

          o  XMDMAN340 - manpages

          o  XMDSCI340 - SCIPORT

          These subsets replace the previous DXML distribution kit. Please
          note that the parallel library should be installed only on a
          multiprocessor (SMP) configuration running DIGITAL UNIX Version
          4.0 or later.

          The following user documentation is available on the CD-ROM
          distribution in Bookreader format:

             Manual
