+.SH NAME
+netlib \- retrieve public-domain software
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.B mail research!netlib
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.I Netlib
+retrieves files by electronic mail from a set of libraries
+of public-domain software, mostly mathematical.
+Netlib responds to mail messages containing one or more
+of the requests described below.
+.HP
+.B send index
+.br
+.ns
+.HP
+.B send
+[
+.I option ...
+]
+.I file ...
+[
+.B but not
+.I file ...
+]
+.B from
+.I library ...
+.br
+Retrieve files from specified libraries.
+The
+.L index
+lists all libraries and gives other helpful information.
+A file is delivered together with all files
+it depends on from its library, unless option
+.L only
+is present.
+Files are retrieved in upper case for requests written
+in upper case.
+.HP
+.B whois
+.I names
+.br
+Retrieve addresses and telephone numbers from a database
+of applied mathematicians.
+.HP

+.I word ...
+[
+.B from
+.I library ...
+]
+.br
+Retrieve one-line index descriptions by content from all or
+any directories.
+.HP
+.B mailsize
+.I size
+.br
+Limit the length of mail messages to
+.I size.
+The size may be given in kilobytes, e.g.
+.BR 100k .
+.PP
+For information about a particular library, retrieve its
+.LR index ,
+which lists routines with one-line descriptions,
+or its
+.LR directory .
+The library
+.LR core
+contains machine constants and basic linear algebra modules
+that are needed with many other libraries.
+.SH EXAMPLES
+.TP
+.B send index from eispack
+What's in
+.BR eispack ?
+.TP
+.B send directory from eispack
+Get file names and sizes.
+.TP
+.B send dgeco from linpack
