The Matrix package, an R package, available from CRAN or R-forge,
consists of basically two parts.

   R code in R/*.R, including more in ./inst/ and ./tests/ and other
   directories including vignettes, documentation etc.
   All these have been created by Douglas Bates and Martin Maechler and
   hence are
