Matrix multiplication on PC-s
                         Preliminary test 96/10/23
                      (see also: bench_bm_mm_ws.txt)



All this is unchecked (what is f77, does it call g77; where are
the libraries, etc.) (f77 seems to use a conversion to C.)

CPU times can be compared to the workstation benchmarks WITHOUT
precompiled BLAS libraries.

Table generated by using a dummy tempd_linux.f and using the command
"time <executable>".

  loops deleted. All other loops and calls were retained.)
