The source code printed in Numerical Recipes - The Art of Scientific
Computing is now available for the Mac in Pascal (no version given) for
$39 from:

	Numerical Recipes Software
	PO Box 243
	Cambridge, MA. 02238

They also have an experimental copy of the code in Fortran (Microsoft V3.20
IBM PC version) on a Mac disk for those who may want to try it - also for
$39. 

For those of you who do anything numerical with any computer the book is
highly recommended - easily the best single volume numerical analysis book
I've ever seen. Routines are given in both F77 and Pascal with a future
edition of the book planned in C (although that will be some time away).
I have not tried either of the Mac disks, but have used much of the book
and think that you wouldn't be disappointed!

With the Mac evolving towards a reasonable number cruncher (the Levco and
HyperDrive 68881 options) the machine may be of more use to those of us
in Science and Engineering than it has been.
