RBio: Copyright 2016, Timothy A. Davis, http://www.suitesparse.com
A MATLAB Toolbox for reading/writing sparse matrices in Rutherford/Boeing
format.
To install the MATLAB functions, cd to the RBio directory (the one containing
RBinstall.m, not the top-level directory) and type "RBinstall" in the MATLAB
command window. To compile the C codes, type "make" (requires Unix). For
examples on how to use the C interface, see Include/RBio.h and Demo/RBdemo.c.
To install the shared library into /usr/local/lib and /usr/local/include, do
"make install"; do "make uninstall" to remove the library.

RBio - MATLAB toolbox for reading/writing sparse matrices in the Rutherford/
Boeing format, and for reading/writing problems in the UF Sparse Matrix
Collection from/to a set of files in a directory.
RBread - read a sparse matrix from a Rutherford/Boeing file
RBreade - read a symmetric finite-element matrix from a R/B file
RBtype - determine the Rutherford/Boeing type of a sparse matrix
RBwrite - write a sparse matrix to a Rutherford/Boeing file
RBraw - read the raw contents of a Rutherford/Boeing file
RBfix - read a possibly corrupted matrix from a R/B file
RBinstall - install the RBio toolbox for use in MATLAB
Example:
load west0479
C = west0479 ;
RBwrite ('mywest', C, 'WEST0479 chemical eng. problem', 'west0479')
A = RBread ('mywest') ;
norm (A-C,1)
See also UFget, mread, mwrite.

west0479.rua original Harwell/Boeing version of west0479
Note that the west0479 matrix provided in the Test directory is the correct
version. The MATLAB statement "load west0479" gives you a matrix that is
slightly incorrect (as of MATLAB Version 7.3, R2006b).
