Hallo Bill; could you please explain or post some reference about that 
specialised version you mention of the QL iteration to get directly the 
first components of the normalised eigenvectors. As I am working with 
complex, non-hermitian, symmetric eigenvalue problems it would be of great 
help. Thanks!
