It currently implements Algorithm A from Vitter (1984) and has a small daft demo program included. It builds OK on my Ubuntu Linux system using the GNU Autotools, but I make no promises at present. :-) I will probably migrate to Savannah as/when functionality and interest grow sufficient -- for now it didn't seem worth bothering their reviewers with a barely-started project. I'll post a small announcement on the help-gsl list as well once it's a little more developed. Review, feedback and contributions all welcome. :-) Thanks & best wishes, -- Joe
