Are we sure N. Higham doesn't retain some copyright to the code? You
seem to know him. Could you ask him if he indeed cannot give us the
actual source code?

I suppose you mean this one:

     http://www.maths.manchester.ac.uk/~higham/NAMF/Funm_files.tar

I didn't find a copyright statement there. Do you have a suggestion
about how to approach the author over making this code free?
