+ATLAS (Automatically Tuned Linear Algebra Software) is an ongoing
+research effort focusing on applying empirical techniques in order to
+provide portable performance. At present, it provides C and Fortran77
+interfaces to a portably efficient BLAS implementation, as well as a few
+routines from LAPACK.
+
+This requires blas, and it conflicts with cblas (only one of atlas
+and cblas may be installed at any given time). Take care with LAPACK
+(see notes 3 & 4 in README.SLACKWARE).
+
+You need to read over README.SLACKWARE *before* building this.
