Sherry,

One minor issue with the tarball. I see the following new files in the v4.1 tarball
[when comparing it with v4.0]. Some of these files are perhaps junk files - and can
be removed from the tarball?

   EXAMPLE/dscatter.c.bak
   EXAMPLE/g10.cua
   EXAMPLE/g4.cua
   EXAMPLE/g4.postorder.eps
   EXAMPLE/g4.rua
   EXAMPLE/g4_postorder.jpg
   EXAMPLE/hostname
   EXAMPLE/pdgssvx.c
   EXAMPLE/pdgstrf2.c
   EXAMPLE/pwd
   EXAMPLE/pzgstrf2.c
   EXAMPLE/pzgstrf_v3.3.c
   EXAMPLE/pzutil.c
   EXAMPLE/test.bat
   EXAMPLE/test.cpu.bat
   EXAMPLE/test.err
   EXAMPLE/test.err.1
   EXAMPLE/zlook_ahead_update.c
   FORTRAN/make.out
   FORTRAN/zcreate_dist_matrix.c
   MAKE_INC/make.xc30
   SRC/int_t
   SRC/lnbrow
   SRC/make.out
   SRC/rnbrow
   SRC/temp
   SRC/temp1


Thanks,
Satish
