Re: recursion and fsolve

[Fred Metcalf]

Working in a fog of ignorance, I tried what Joe Koski is suggesting, and 
it did not work.  However, my ignorance comes from being an octave user 
who has never looked into the internals.  I've never dynamically linked 
an external program, for example.

I did "edit" the .oct code and there are numerous references to "fsolve" 
in the binary, and these would probably have to be changed.  Of course, 
as has been pointed out, the heart of fsolve is off in Fortran 77 land, 
and that's perhaps the part that has to be invoked with a different name.
