that's true anymore.
For my doctoral work (using a PDP-11 - probably vintage even then -
and a MicroVAX - shiny and new then, definitely on-topic now), I
used the NAG library for all the number crunching.
My son recently did some work experience with them: they now do C
libraries and (it seems) some Java stuff too. Times change I guess.
Back on topic before I'm castigated.
Perhaps I've inadvertently stumbled across a solution to the perennial
"is this system on-topic in and of itself". If it can run Java then
"no"
:-).
