I have taken a quick look at compiling Algol 68 Genie with Visual Studio 2015 and, although I will have to overcome some *nix file permission issues, the initial results are encouraging. I am especially pleased to find that the GSL and pthreads libraries are used since I already build these on Visual Studio. I am not a member of the LinkedIn group but I'll look into joining this.

(The rank deficiency is a near-ubiquitous result of the imposition of boundary conditions in numerical discretization of a continuous differential-operator eigenvalue problem.) The custom-reduction + Eispack-COMQR algorithm is far more accurate than the generalized-eigensystem routines in LAPACK package, or at least was as of the late 1990s, last time I used the code and compared to a free-trial copy of Lapack). But I digress: Code: C THIS SUBROUTINE IS A TRANSLATION OF A UNITARY ANALOGUE OF THE C ALGOL PROCEDURE COMLR, NUM. MATH. 12, 369-376(1968) BY MARTIN C AND WILKINSON. C HANDBOOK FOR AUTO. COMP., VOL.II-LINEAR ALGEBRA, 396-403(1971). C THE UNITARY ANALOGUE SUBSTITUTES THE QR ALGORITHM OF FRANCIS C (COMP. JOUR. 4, 332-345(1962)) FOR THE LR ALGORITHM. C C THIS SUBROUTINE FINDS THE EIGENVALUES OF A COMPLEX C UPPER HESSENBERG MATRIX BY THE QR METHOD. This is one of those things I wish I had time to play with, but alas my free coding time is fully occupied with code for real-world high-performance applications. But have fun, y'all!
