How does it work? Ninja allows portable programs to be written without development of their own Array, BLAS, and Complex packages. The Array class's access functions provide bounds-checking. The BLAS also checks the consistency of its arguments. Fortran-like sectioning operations are provided for the different array classes. These sectioning operations allow sub-arrays to be defined for an array, where the sub- arrays are of a type defined by one of the Array classes. -------------------------------------------------------------------- Administrativia --------------- The Enhyper lib has moved to a new home due to Enhyper becoming a commercial company.
