PURPOSE
  DPOTF2 - compute the Cholesky factorization of a real symmetric positive
  definite matrix A

SYNTAX
  SUBROUTINE DPOTF2( UPLO, N, A, LDA, INFO )

      CHARACTER	     UPLO

      INTEGER	     INFO, LDA, N

      DOUBLE	     PRECISION A( LDA, * )

DESCRIPTION
  DPOTF2 computes the Cholesky factorization of a real symmetric positive
  definite matrix A.  The factorization has the form
     A = U' * U ,  if UPLO = 'U', or
     A = L  * L',  if UPLO = 'L',
  where U is an upper triangular matrix and L is lower triangular.

  This is the unblocked version of the algorithm, calling Level 2 BLAS.

ARGUMENTS
  UPLO	  (input) CHARACTER*1
	  Specifies whether the upper or lower triangular part of the
	  symmetric matrix A is stored.	 = 'U':	 Upper triangular
	  = 'L':  Lower triangular

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

  A	  (input/output) DOUBLE PRECISION array, dimension (LDA,N)
	  On entry, the symmetric matrix A.  If UPLO = 'U', the leading n by
	  n upper triangular part of A contains the upper triangular part of
	  the matrix A, and the strictly lower triangular part of A is not
	  referenced.  If UPLO = 'L', the leading n by n lower triangular
	  part of A contains the lower triangular part of the matrix A, and
	  the strictly upper triangular part of A is not referenced.

	  On exit, if INFO = 0, the factor U or L from the Cholesky
	  factorization A = U'*U  or A = L*L'.

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

  INFO	  (output) INTEGER
	  = 0: successful exit
	  < 0: if INFO = -k, the k-th argument had an illegal value
	  > 0: if INFO = k, the leading minor of order k is not positive
	  definite, and the factorization could not be completed.
