c     chol performs the choleski decomposition of a symmetric
c     positive-definite matrix.  this is just a wrapper for the
c     linpack routine dpofa.

c
c         a         double precision(lda,n)
c                   the upper triangle of the matrix to be factorized
c                   is contained in the upper triangle of a.
c
c         lda       integer
c                   the leading dimension of a.
c
c         n         integer
c                   the number or rows and columns of the matrix
c                   to be factorized.
c
c     on return
c
c         v         double precision(n,n)
c                   the square-root (choleski) factor.
c
c         info      integer
c                   the error indicator from dpofa.  this will be
c                   zero unless the matrix being factorized is
c                   not positive definite.
