Fortran BLAS does have flags to handle any combination of transposition. The cblas interface just picks the right ones. We probably should relax our assumption that only ATLAS provides a cblas interface. It's not as trivial as just reverting that changeset, though. -- Robert Kern "I have come to believe that the whole world is an enigma, a harmless enigma that is made terrible by our own mad attempt to interpret it as though it had an underlying truth." -- Umberto Eco _______________________________________________ Numpy-discussion mailing list [email protected] http://projects.scipy.org/mailman/listinfo/numpy-discussion
