Release 7 (December 21, 1998)
- Numerical -- described in Numerical/README.htm
- There have been bugs reported when loading on a platform where there is a native version
of the BLAS or LAPACK. Somehow there is a confusion between different versions of the

build of module lapack_lite and to set the location of your libraries appropriately if
working on such a platform.

- Graphics -- extensive bug fixes in Gist package.
