%
%% R8MAT_EXPAND_LINEAR2 expands an R8MAT by linear interpolation.
%
%  Discussion:
%
%    In this version of the routine, the expansion is indicated
%    by specifying the dimensions of the expanded array.

%  Parameters:
%
%    Input, integer M, N, the number of rows and columns in A.
%
%    Input, real A(M,N), a "small" M by N array.
%
%    Input, integer M2, N2, the number of rows and columns in A2.
%
%    Output, real A2(M2,N2), the expanded array, which
%    contains an interpolated version of the data in A.
