Optimized matrix multiplication functions for pascal?:

They are available in a library named LAPACK.  You can find downloads
by doing a Google search on this name.  It is coded in FORTRAN though.

They are easy to code, as they are simple linear algebra.  A good
textbook on linear algebra would be a great help to you.

However, LAPACK gets mighty complicated when it gets into other areas
of numerical linear algebra.  If your FORTRAN code uses more
complicated routines, you might find it convenient simply to call the
LAPACK FORTRAN code directly.  Maintaining a Pascal version of LAPACK
would be a non-trivial -- even arduous -- task, but you could check the
FPC Wiki to see if somebody might already have done that for you.
