Hi Ravi, ...In the same fashion, I was trying to look at wilder.f of 'wilderSum' command of the TTR package. I even googled for the keyword, "wilder.f wilderSum" or " subroutine wilder", but did not find anything useful.
Also I did not get when you said " So,you can look at these files if you had installed the source code". Where to look at these files(without going to google)...is there anything which I need to install more?

So, you can look at these files if you had installed the source code. Even if you had not installed the full source, you can google using keywrods "rs.f eigenvalue" or "rg.f eigenvalue" to see the Fortran code for these functions available from EISPACK. However, I am not sure how illuminating that would be since rs.f and rg.f are just calling routines that each calls a number of other subroutines. So, unless you are willing to spend a great deal of time, you may not be any wiser at the end of all this.
