"identical in content to that of Compaq Tru64 UNIX libm";
"provides intrinsic function support for the C and Fortran languages as defined by the X/Open, ANSI C and
ANSI Fortran standards."; faster than std libm or libffm.

Just wanted to let anyone know who may be interested. Satellite Toolkit
is a great package for orbital analyses. It's been available for various
Unix'es and Win95/WinNT for some time. Now it's been compiled for Linux
and it's available on ftp.stk.com for free download (all 9 Megs.) There
are some caveats though: (1) It's been compiled with glibc, so only Red
Hat 5.0 and above need apply; (2) You need to get the free CD and
install the Digital Unix version also for all the support files and
documentation; (3) You will need to visit the stk web site to get a free
password so you can use STK beyond the 30-day trial period.
