                         ---------------------
                         INTERFACE DESCRIPTION
                         ---------------------
  ---------------
  QUERY FUNCTIONS
  ---------------

  FUNCTION:

  int readHB_info(const char *filename, int *M, int *N, int *nz,
  char **Type, int *Nrhs)

  DESCRIPTION:

  The readHB_info function opens and reads the header information from
  the specified Harwell-Boeing file, and reports back the number of rows
  and columns in the stored matrix (M and N), the number of nonzeros in
  the matrix (nz), the 3-character matrix type(Type), and the number of
  right-hand-sides stored along with the matrix (Nrhs).  This function
  is designed to retrieve basic size information which can be used to 
  allocate arrays.

  FUNCTION:

  int  readHB_header(FILE* in_file, char* Title, char* Key, char* Type, 
                    int* Nrow, int* Ncol, int* Nnzero, int* Nrhs,
                    char* Ptrfmt, char* Indfmt, char* Valfmt, char* Rhsfmt, 
                    int* Ptrcrd, int* Indcrd, int* Valcrd, int* Rhscrd, 
                    char *Rhstype)

  DESCRIPTION:

  More detailed than the readHB_info function, readHB_header() reads from 
  the specified Harwell-Boeing file all of the header information.  


  ------------------------------
  DOUBLE PRECISION I/O FUNCTIONS
  ------------------------------
  FUNCTION:

  int readHB_newmat_double(const char *filename, int *M, int *N, *int nz,
  int **colptr, int **rowind,  double**val)

  int readHB_mat_double(const char *filename, int *colptr, int *rowind,
  double*val)


  DESCRIPTION:

  This function opens and reads the specified file, interpreting its
  contents as a sparse matrix stored in the Harwell/Boeing standard
  format.  (See readHB_aux_double to read auxillary vectors.)
        -- Values are interpreted as double precision numbers. --

  The "mat" function uses _pre-allocated_ vectors to hold the index and 
  nonzero value information.

  The "newmat" function allocates vectors to hold the index and nonzero
  value information, and returns pointers to these vectors along with
  matrix dimension and number of nonzeros.

  FUNCTION:

  int readHB_aux_double(const char* filename, const char AuxType, double b[])

  int readHB_newaux_double(const char* filename, const char AuxType, double** b)

  DESCRIPTION:

  This function opens and reads from the specified file auxillary vector(s).
  The char argument Auxtype determines which type of auxillary vector(s)
  will be read (if present in the file).

                  AuxType = 'F'   right-hand-side 
                  AuxType = 'G'   initial estimate (Guess)
                  AuxType = 'X'   eXact solution

  If Nrhs > 1, all of the Nrhs vectors of the given type are read and 
  stored in column-major order in the vector b.

  The "newaux" function allocates a vector to hold the values retrieved.
  The "mat" function uses a _pre-allocated_ vector to hold the values.

  FUNCTION:

  int writeHB_mat_double(const char* filename, int M, int N, 
                        int nz, const int colptr[], const int rowind[], 
                        const double val[], int Nrhs, const double rhs[], 
                        const double guess[], const double exact[],
                        const char* Title, const char* Key, const char* Type, 
                        char* Ptrfmt, char* Indfmt, char* Valfmt, char* Rhsfmt,
                        const char* Rhstype)

  DESCRIPTION:

  The writeHB_mat_double function opens the named file and writes the specified
  matrix and optional auxillary vector(s) to that file in Harwell-Boeing
  format.  The format arguments (Ptrfmt,Indfmt,Valfmt, and Rhsfmt) are
  character strings specifying "Fortran-style" output formats -- as they
  would appear in a Harwell-Boeing file.  They are used to produce output
  which is as close as possible to what would be produced by Fortran code,
  but note that "D" and "P" edit descriptors are not supported.
  If NULL, the following defaults will be used:
                    Ptrfmt = Indfmt = "(8I10)"
                    Valfmt = Rhsfmt = "(4E20.13)"

  -----------------------
  CHARACTER I/O FUNCTIONS 
  -----------------------
  FUNCTION: 

  int readHB_mat_char(const char* filename, int colptr[], int rowind[], 
                                           char val[], char* Valfmt)
  int readHB_newmat_char(const char* filename, int* M, int* N, int* nonzeros, 
                          int** colptr, int** rowind, char** val, char** Valfmt)

  DESCRIPTION: 

  This function opens and reads the specified file, interpreting its
  contents as a sparse matrix stored in the Harwell/Boeing standard
  format.  (See readHB_aux_char to read auxillary vectors.)
              -- Values are interpreted as char strings.     --
  (Used to translate exact values from the file into a new storage format.)

  The "mat" function uses _pre-allocated_ arrays to hold the index and 
  nonzero value information.

  The "newmat" function allocates char arrays to hold the index 
  and nonzero value information, and returns pointers to these arrays 
  along with matrix dimension and number of nonzeros.

  FUNCTION:

  int readHB_aux_char(const char* filename, const char AuxType, char b[])
  int readHB_newaux_char(const char* filename, const char AuxType, char** b, 
                         char** Rhsfmt)

  DESCRIPTION:

  This function opens and reads from the specified file auxillary vector(s).
  The char argument Auxtype determines which type of auxillary vector(s)
  will be read (if present in the file).

                  AuxType = 'F'   right-hand-side 
                  AuxType = 'G'   initial estimate (Guess)
                  AuxType = 'X'   eXact solution

  If Nrhs > 1, all of the Nrhs vectors of the given type are read and 
  stored in column-major order in the vector b.

  The "newaux" function allocates a character array to hold the values 
                retrieved.
  The "mat" function uses a _pre-allocated_ array to hold the values.

  FUNCTION:

  int writeHB_mat_char(const char* filename, int M, int N, 
                        int nz, const int colptr[], const int rowind[], 
                        const char val[], int Nrhs, const char rhs[], 
                        const char guess[], const char exact[], 
                        const char* Title, const char* Key, const char* Type, 
                        char* Ptrfmt, char* Indfmt, char* Valfmt, char* Rhsfmt,
                        const char* Rhstype)

  DESCRIPTION:

  The writeHB_mat_char function opens the named file and writes the specified
  matrix and optional auxillary vector(s) to that file in Harwell-Boeing
  format.  The format arguments (Ptrfmt,Indfmt,Valfmt, and Rhsfmt) are
  character strings specifying "Fortran-style" output formats -- as they
  would appear in a Harwell-Boeing file.  Valfmt and Rhsfmt must accurately 
  represent the character representation of the values stored in val[] 
  and rhs[]. 

  If NULL, the following defaults will be used for the integer vectors:
                    Ptrfmt = Indfmt = "(8I10)"
                    Valfmt = Rhsfmt = "(4E20.13)"
