Hi all,
 
I've just checked in our current software version to Boost CVS.
 
Contained are two new classes, compressed_vector & compressed_matrix, 
modelling FORTRAN compressed row and compressed column storage. 
Caution: this stuff is rather untested (and undocumented ;-)
 
We've also written some integration code for CLAPACK, which allowed 
us to run most of the BLAS tests against ublas. These tests succeed 
currently ;-). So the usage of dense and packed matrices should be 
rather safe, now.
 
If there's enough public interest in the test code, we'll discuss, 
how to incorporate it into the distribution.
 
BTW, does anybody know a similar perfect test suite for sparse 
matrices?
 
Regards
 
Joerg
