I tried to mail this at 2 addresses - they failed, so... > >SYNOPSIS > solve [-a] [-v] filename > > The manual page doesn't explain 'a' and 'v' - I found out by looking that the code that they are 'author' and 'version', but I thought I'd point this out. Why won't it solve the following: ================== cubterm = x^3 sqterm = 0 * x^2 linterm = -21.0*x conterm = 20.0 poly = cubterm+sqterm+linterm+conterm =================== The old one solved this, given poly = 0 ( It found a single root, anyway ). The new one won't - it said it needs more info. Thank you in advance. -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Greg Smith University of Toronto UUCP: ..utzoo!utcsri!greg
