This is the SINTEF LSMG library developed at at SINTEF Applied
Mathematics.  LSMG stands for "Least Squares Multi-Grid (B-spline
approximation)".  The LSMG library is a means to make (penalized)
least squares approximations to scattered data with B-spline surfaces.

The code is copyrighted by SINTEF ICT, Applied Mathematics, and
licensed under the GPL.

To make the library, type 'make' or 'make lib' at the command prompt.
(The library file will be saved in the 'lib' directory).  It has only
been tested for linux users using the g++ compiler.  NB: You WILL need
to have the BOOST library installed (downloadable at http://boost.org)

Note about the MBA library: This distribution contains header and
source files from the MBA library in order to work on its
own. However, only one library file is produced by compilation. (Thus,
MBA is a "subset" of LSMG.)

The code itself should be compilable with Microsoft Visual C++, but
you will have to set up your own project.  Alternatively, cygwin might
work using the present makefile.

If you have Doxygen installed, you can generate documentation by
typing 'doxygen' at the command prompt.  The documentation can also be
found on-line at:
