function value = r8mat_norm_eis ( m, n, a )

%*****************************************************************************80
%
%% r8mat_norm_eis() returns the EISPACK norm of an R8MAT.
%
%  Discussion:
%
%    The EISPACK norm is defined as:
%
%      value = sum ( 1 <= I <= M ) sum ( 1 <= J <= N ) abs ( A(I,J) )

%  Input:
%
%    integer M, the number of rows in A.
%
%    integer N, the number of columns in A.
%
%    real A(M,N), the matrix whose EISPACK norm is desired.
%
%  Output:
%
%    Output, real VALUE, the EISPACK norm of A.

  value = sum ( sum ( abs ( a(1:m,1:n) ) ) );
