File Format:   ASCII
               Starting Values   (lines 41 to 46)
               Certified Values  (lines 41 to 51)
               Data              (lines 61 to 84)

Procedure:     Nonlinear Least Squares Regression

Description:   These data are taken from an example discussed in
               Lanczos (1956).  The data were generated to 14-digits
               of accuracy using
               f(x) = 0.0951*exp(-x) + 0.8607*exp(-3*x) 
                                     + 1.5576*exp(-5*x).
