		PUNC (Portable Understructure for Numerical Computing) is a small standard
		collection of software libraries for numerical computing. The PUNC
		collection includes reference implementations of the standard (dense matrix)
		linear algebra tools BLAS and LAPACK, and also includes some newer (sparse
		matrix) linear algebra tools ARPACK, SuperLU, CgCode, and PMG. PUNC also
		provides some additional basic infrastructure such as the standard F2C
		header and corresponding library (libF2C), to support the use of F2C'd
		FORTRAN codes, and some other standard tools used to build numerical
		simulation software, such as the HDF5 library. While most of the libraries
		included in PUNC are completely stand-alone, and are the reference
		implementations developed by the individual library authors, PUNC also
		provides some Object-oriented C wrappers (written by the FETK developers)
		for use with Object-oriented C/C++ codes such as FETK . This is accomplished
		by building PUNC on top of FETK 's MALOC library.
