<h2>BLAS Library selection</h2>
<p>
During the install a default BLAS library was selected. The installer contains
2 BLAS implementations,
the <a href="http://www.netlib.org/blas/">NetLib reference BLAS</a>
and <a href="http://www.openblas.net/">OpenBLAS</a>.
</p>
<p>
The choice of library can be changed after the install by copying
librefblas.dll or libopenblas.dll to libblas.dll in the bin folder of the
Octave installation.
