Hi, This concerns the book "Numerical recipes in C" by Press et al. Is the code given in the book available? I hear that you can purchase it from the authors. Do any of the netters know if it can be accessed from any sites? I have access to anonymous ftp. any information will be appreciated. Thanks __ S. Jayakumar jai@cn.ecn.purdue.edu

"...Although this book and its programs are copyrighted, we specifically authorize you, a reader of the book, to make one machine-readable copy of each program for your own use.

(from the preface to my 1988 printing of NRiC) I have no connection to NRiC other than as a satisfied user. This book is by no means perfect, but it is an excellent place to start. My chief gripe is the coding style chosen. In particular, they uniformly use unit-offset arrays. The algorithms and references are very good, though. -- John Sahr, | Electrical Engineering - Space Plasma Physics johns@alfven.spp.cornell.edu | Cornell University, Ithaca, NY 14853
