function b = r8sto_to_r8ge ( n, a, b )

%*****************************************************************************80
%
%% R8STO_TO_R8GE copies a R8STO matrix to a R8GE matrix.
%
%  Discussion:
%
%    The R8STO storage format is used for a symmetric Toeplitz matrix.
%    It stores the N elements of the first row.
