Your attention is drawn to the terms and conditions of the Software Licence regarding the use of NAG software. Any request to use this software other than on the licensed computer must be referred to NAG, as should requests for information about the availability of other implementations.
This implementation is a compiled, tested, ready-to-use version of the NAG Fortran Library that is considered suitable for operation on the computer systems detailed below:
hardware: all Intel 64-bit systems operating system: Microsoft Windows XP 64-Bit Edition Fortran compiler: Intel Fortran
Two static libraries are provided. One contains all the routines mentioned in the NAG Fortran Library Manual. The second allows the use of third party, processor tuned versions of the Basic Linear Algebra Subprograms (BLAS) and linear algebra routines (LAPACK). (Refer to the Chapter Introductions for F06, F07 and F08 in the NAG Fortran Library Manual for more information about the BLAS and LAPACK.)
This implementation was produced at NAG Ltd., Oxford on the computing system detailed below:
hardware: Intel Itanium operating system: Microsoft Windows XP 64-Bit version 5.1.2600 Fortran compiler: Intel Fortran 5.0.1-22 (build 20010730) compiler options: /nologo /Zl /cm /w /MT Microsoft Platform SDK October 2002The supplied libraries have also been tested with Intel Fortran version 6.0.085 (build 20020321) and version 7.0 (build 20021028).
The entire NAG Fortran Library, Mark 20, was compiled with full optimization

You should have Administrator privileges to install this software.
The CD contains an InstallShield SETUP executable file (.EXE) for the library implementation and a Windows Installer package for the manual (manual.msi). Installation of the manual is optional. It may be viewed from the CD or installed onto local disk as described in Section 4.2.
To install the Library insert the CD into your CD drive to display
the NAG Library Setup Menu. If the Setup Menu does not display,
run
Installation of the Library requires a license key, which will be provided by NAG. This will either be a `Trial' key, which will allow you to try out the library for a limited period of time, or a `Fully Paid' key which enables use of the library indefinitely on a specific workstation. If you do not have a key, Installer will generate a file (usually saved as C:\NagKeyRqst.txt), which may be E-mailed or faxed to NAG. In return NAG will send you a valid licence key.
Should you need to re-install the license key, (for example to replace a
trial key), locate and run the utility
Once in possession of a valid license key, begin the installation process again. You will be prompted for the license key. Once this has been entered the process will continue.
The archive library NAG.LIB should be installed only if the Intel Math Kernel Library is already installed, or will be installed before the NAG Library is used.
If the Fortran compiler is not installed in
To install the Library manual in PDF insert the CD into your CD drive

You may wish to move the PDF documentation files to the same location as that for other NAG products. You are encouraged to make them readily available to users, but in such a way that they are not generally accessible from outside your site.
If you do not already have a copy of Adobe Acrobat Reader for your platform, a free copy can be downloaded from http://www.adobe.com/. Please check this site for availability of a reader for your platform.
Please note that if you are using Adobe Acrobat 4.0 or earlier you might experience some problems when printing documents that contain non-standard characters, such as integral signs, square roots and large brackets. These characters will print correctly using Adobe Acrobat 5.0.
The HTML form of the Essential Introduction contains some mathematical characters that are displayed as question marks by releases of Netscape earlier than 6, but these are displayed correctly by Netscape 6 and Internet Explorer. They may also be viewed via the PDF.
If using Netscape, it might be necessary to re-install Acrobat to ensure that the Acrobat plug-in has been installed. If the plug-in has not been installed, Netscape may copy PDF files to a temporary folder, and then not be able to navigate from there.
The Users' Note (doc\un.html) should be checked and amended as necessary (particularly Sections 3.1 and 5.). Advice on accessing the library in Section 3.1 can be checked by running a few example programs following that advice; a suitable sample would be A02AAF, D01AUF, G05LFF and X03AAF. The installation can also be tested using the script nagex.bat. The Users' Note should then be made available to users directly, or be absorbed into local access information.
The following material should also be made accessible to users:
documentation files:
The FL20\Manual folder contains the online documentation. This should be made available to users, in addition to the following:

Note that the example material has been adapted, if necessary, from that published in the NAG Fortran Library Manual, so that programs are suitable for execution with this implementation with no further changes (but see Section 4.4.2 for comments about possible differences in results obtained). Making the example material directly available to users provides them with easily adaptable templates for their own problems.
The "example programs" for the routines in the F06 chapter are not typical example programs and they are not in the Library Manual. They are test programs, which are supplied to sites for use in an installation test of the Library. Some of them take much longer to run than other example programs. Routines which are equivalent to BLAS, are tested twice: once when called by their NAG F06 names, and once when called by their BLAS names.
Online documentation is bundled with this implementation. Please see Section 4.2.
The NAG Response Centres are available for general enquiries from all users and also for technical queries from sites with an annually licensed product or support service.
The Response Centres are open during office hours, but contact is possible by fax, email and phone (answering machine) at all times.
When contacting a Response Centre it helps us deal with your enquiry quickly if you can quote your NAG site reference and NAG product code (in this case FLW6420DBL).
