Hi Folks,

The new and improved, semistable version of s.surf.krig is now available
on our ftp site:

  mqmet.cic.mq.edu.au
  login as "ftp"
  passwd is username
  cd pub

  s.surf.krig.tar.Z

Unfortunately, I don't have time at the moment to detail the algorithm or
contact those people who specifically asked for this update as I am in
the process of moving to James Cook University. My accounts here at
Macquarie will however remain for a few months so I am contactable here in
March.

Things to note: Please, please, please read the Numerical Recipes copywrite
                 notice! I have permission to distribute my code with their
                 routines in it, BUT only on the understanding that you not
                 remove these routines for use elsewhere unless YOU have a
                 numerical recipes licence. Permission was granted to use
                 and distribute 2 nr routines in code designed specifically
                 for researchers. Please read the notice in "main.c".

Cheers,
Chris

p.s. please feel free to modify my program in any way that suits you, I
     don't have any problems with that. If however you use my code to
     build a different program you must remove the nr routines. sorry.

I intended to fix the NR problem personally, but since this spring's
schedule is shaping up to be a real bear, I'll let others know what I
had in mind.

A while back I started trying to compile a replacement for NR. For
each chapter in the book, I started hunting equivalent routines (that
indexed from zero!!!!!!!!!!) that were freely distributable.

Before I spent too much time on it, I ran across two people at UCLA
that had the same general idea a long time before me. The principle
party is Ajay Shah, who deserves a lot of credit. The package, "AnS
C," (Ajay -n- Somebody else whose name escapes me.. maybe Sharon) will
be freely available once it is finished (if that hasn't happened
already). I had an early copy, and was quite impressed. Excellent
document. I don't recall exactly which matrix manipulation routines
it had, but this is a possible source for replacement routines.

If some programmer is seriously interested in this, get in touch with
me and I'll try to track down the source.

Cheers,
Chris
