      INTEGER	     IWORK( * )

DESCRIPTION
  DTPRFS provides error bounds and backward error estimates for the solution
  to a system of linear equations with a triangular packed coefficient
  matrix.  The solution matrix X must be computed by DTPTRS or some other
  means before entering this routine.  DTPRFS does not do iterative
  refinement because doing so cannot improve the backward error.

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
	  matrices B and X.  NRHS >= 0.

  AP	  (input) DOUBLE PRECISION 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.  If DIAG
	  = 'U', the diagonal elements of A are not referenced and are
	  assumed to be 1.

  B	  (input) DOUBLE PRECISION array, dimension (LDB,NRHS)
	  The right hand side matrix B.

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

  X	  (input) DOUBLE PRECISION array, dimension (LDX,NRHS)
	  The solution matrix X.

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

  FERR	  (output) DOUBLE PRECISION array, dimension (NRHS)
	  The estimated forward error bound for each solution vector X(j)
	  (the j-th column of the solution matrix X).  If XTRUE is the true
	  solution corresponding to X(j), FERR(j) is an estimated upper bound
	  for the magnitude of the largest element in (X(j) - XTRUE) divided
	  by the magnitude of the largest element in X(j).  The estimate is
	  as reliable as the estimate for RCOND, and is almost always a
	  slight overestimate of the true error.

  BERR	  (output) DOUBLE PRECISION array, dimension (NRHS)
	  The componentwise relative backward error of each solution vector
	  X(j) (i.e., the smallest relative change in any element of A or B
	  that makes X(j) an exact solution).

  WORK	  (workspace) DOUBLE PRECISION array, dimension (3*N)

  IWORK	  (workspace) INTEGER array, dimension (N)

  INFO	  (output) INTEGER
	  = 0:	successful exit
	  < 0:	if INFO = -i, the i-th argument had an illegal value
