Leslie,

I have one more comment about math programming in Delphi 2.

I programmed in C before I started Delphi.  I switched to Delphi because it 
handled integer math better than C.  In particular, there is *no way* in C 
to detect and flag integer overflow.  I had to write my own routines to add, 
subtract, and so on and catch overflow.

Delphi has a compiler switch that lets me choose.  My code can either catch 
integer overflow or ignore it, as *I choose*.  This was so liberating, and 
is why I stick with Delphi as it decreases in popularity.

So Delphi has its weaknesses, but also its strengths in math.

I have reworked some of the routines in "Numerical Recipes" to work in 
Delphi (mostly Delphi 5, I'm afraid, since I like the dynamic arrays).  Let 
me know if you want any.
