PURPOSE

     cpprfs improves the computed solution to a system of  linear
     equations  when the coefficient matrix is Hermitian positive
     definite and packed, and provides error bounds and  backward
     error estimates for the solution.

ARGUMENTS

     UPLO (input)
               = 'U':  Upper triangle of A is stored;
               = 'L':  Lower triangle of A is stored.

     N (input) The order of the matrix A.  N >= 0.

     NRHS (input)
               The number of right hand sides, i.e.,  the  number
               of columns of the matrices B and X.  NRHS >= 0.

     A (input) COMPLEX array, dimension (N*(N+1)/2)
               The upper  or  lower  triangle  of  the  Hermitian
               matrix  A,  packed  columnwise  in a linear array.
               The j-th column of A is stored in the array  A  as
               follows:  if UPLO = 'U', A(i + (j-1)*j/2) = A(i,j)
               for 1<=i<=j; if UPLO = 'L', A(i +  (j-1)*(2n-j)/2)
               = A(i,j) for j<=i<=n.

     AF (input) COMPLEX array, dimension (N*(N+1)/2)
               The triangular factor U or  L  from  the  Cholesky
               factorization  A  =  U**H*U or A = L*L**H, as com-
               puted by SPPTRF/CPPTRF,  packed  columnwise  in  a
               linear array in the same format as A (see A).

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

     LDB (input)
               The leading dimension of  the  array  B.   LDB  >=
               max(1,N).
     X (input/output) COMPLEX array, dimension (LDX,NRHS)
               On entry, the solution matrix X,  as  computed  by
               CPPTRS.  On exit, the improved solution matrix X.

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

     FERR (output) REAL array, dimension (NRHS)
               The estimated forward error bound for  each  solu-
               tion  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  ele-
               ment 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) REAL 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)
               COMPLEX array, dimension(2*N)

     WORK2 (workspace)
               REAL array, dimension(N)

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