The Professional Edition of Visual Fortran includes the IMSL® libraries, a collection of nearly 1000 mathematical and statistical functions easily accessible from the Microsoft visual development environment.
The IMSL libraries are installed with the Visual Fortran Professional or Enterprise Editions, as described in Compaq Visual Fortran Installing and Getting Started.
When you install IMSL, you should also install the IMSL online documentation, which lets you
quickly find details on the purpose and use of any IMSL Library routine. You should view
the IMSL readme file and online help provided in the Visual Fortran program folder
(Professional Edition only). You can access the following topics through the IMSL Help file,
available in the Visual Fortran program folder, or the Adobe Acrobat
IMSL Routines Reference (PDF version):
Click on any of the libraries to see a submenu of items grouped by subject. Within each category (for example, Linear Systems, Eigensystem Analysis, and so on), click on a routine for more information.
IMSL libraries are included with the Professional Edition of Visual Fortran (not the Standard Edition).
