                 FORTRAN and C software packages are often used in generic
                 C++ software.  Calling non-generic functions in generic
                 code is not straightforward.  The bindings in this paper
                 help the C++ programmer using external software with
                 a small effort.  The bindings provide a mechanism to
                 keep external software interfaces and specific vector
                 and matrix containers orthogonal.  We show examples
                 using BLAS, LAPACK, UMFPACK, and MUMPS functions and
                 subroutines.",
