Bill, Steve,

Note that the original databases are the NAG versions and the actual
algebra code has been improved since that time. Modifying the algebra
will change the domain vectors. These vectors contain hard-coded
indexes. So, for instance, PLEQN is new since NAG's version so the
domains which use it will have different index values. The database
build is done after the algebra is compiled and should reflect the
actual algebra whereas the original databases may not.
