+AMD version 1.1:  a set of routines for permuting sparse matrices prior to
+    factorization.  Includes a version in C, a version in Fortran, and a MATLAB
+    mexFunction.
+
+Quick start (Unix, or Windows with Cygwin):
+
+    To compile, test, and install AMD, you may wish to first configure the
+    installation by editting the AMD/Make/Make.include file.  Next, cd to this
+    directory (AMD) and type "make" (or "make lib" if you do not have MATLAB).
+    To compile and run a demo program for the Fortran version, type
+    "make fortran".  When done, type "make clean" to remove unused *.o files
+    (keeps the compiled libraries and demo programs).  See the User Guide
+    (Doc/AMD_UserGuide.pdf), or AMD/Make/Make.include, for more details.
+
+Quick start (for MATLAB users);
+
+    To compile, test, and install the AMD mexFunction, cd to the
+    AMD/MATLAB directory and type amd_make at the MATLAB prompt.
+    This works on any system supported by MATLAB.

+Description:
+
+    AMD is a set of routines for pre-ordering sparse matrices prior to Cholesky
+    or LU factorization, using the approximate minimum degree ordering
+    algorithm.  Written in ANSI/ISO C with a MATLAB interface, and in
+    Fortran 77.
