R devel - Aug 2000 - Defective pointer to tech report (PR#634)

Full_Name: Rod Montgomery
Version: 1.1.0
OS: Windows-95
Submission from: (NULL) (38.26.56.3)


File R-1.1.0/src/appl/lbfgsb.c --

Comment in code says two papers describing underlying math are in 
ftp://ece.nwu.edu/pub/lbfgs/lbfgs_bcm/
but that directory seems not to exist.

(Actually, the comment does not give a URL - it just says
to look in that directory on that FTP server.)

Paper [1] does exist in 
ftp://ece.nwu.edu/pub/nocedal/papers/sisc95.ps

Nocedal's bibliography page for L-BGFS-B is
http://www.ece.nwu.edu/~nocedal/lbfgsb.html
which points to .ps.gz forms of both papers.

Thanks.  These things have a habit of changing, and those refs are from
the original source.  The help page gives current ones.  Unfortunately
1.1.1 went out today, so I'll take a look closer to 1.2.0 release-time.
