NAME

       STPTRS - solve a triangular system of the form  A * X = B or A**T * X = B,

SYNOPSIS

       SUBROUTINE STPTRS( UPLO, TRANS, DIAG, N, NRHS, AP, B, LDB, INFO )

	   CHARACTER	  DIAG, TRANS, UPLO

	   INTEGER	  INFO, LDB, N, NRHS

	   REAL 	  AP( * ), B( LDB, * )

PURPOSE

       STPTRS solves a triangular system of the form A * X = B or A**T * X = B, where A is a triangular matrix of order N stored in packed format,
       and B is an N-by-NRHS matrix.  A check is made to verify that A is nonsingular.

ARGUMENTS

       UPLO    (input) CHARACTER*1
	       = 'U':  A is upper triangular;
	       = 'L':  A is lower triangular.

       TRANS   (input) CHARACTER*1
	       Specifies the form of the system of equations:
	       = 'N':  A * X = B  (No transpose)
	       = 'T':  A**T * X = B  (Transpose)
	       = 'C':  A**H * X = B  (Conjugate transpose = Transpose)

       DIAG    (input) CHARACTER*1
	       = 'N':  A is non-unit triangular;
	       = 'U':  A is unit triangular.

       N       (input) INTEGER
	       The order of the matrix A.  N >= 0.

       NRHS    (input) INTEGER
	       The number of right hand sides, i.e., the number of columns of the matrix B.  NRHS >= 0.

       AP      (input) REAL array, dimension (N*(N+1)/2)
	       The upper or lower triangular matrix A, packed columnwise in a linear array.  The j-th column of A is stored in	the  array  AP	as
	       follows: if UPLO = 'U', AP(i + (j-1)*j/2) = A(i,j) for 1<=i<=j; if UPLO = 'L', AP(i + (j-1)*(2*n-j)/2) = A(i,j) for j<=i<=n.

       B       (input/output) REAL array, dimension (LDB,NRHS)
	       On entry, the right hand side matrix B.	On exit, if INFO = 0, the solution matrix X.

       LDB     (input) INTEGER
	       The leading dimension of the array B.  LDB >= max(1,N).

       INFO    (output) INTEGER
	       = 0:  successful exit
	       < 0:  if INFO = -i, the i-th argument had an illegal value
	       > 0:  if INFO = i, the i-th diagonal element of A is zero, indicating that the matrix is singular and the solutions X have not been
	       computed.
