README.NumRec
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Because the authors of the book "Numerical Recipes in C - The Art of
Scientific Computing" does not allow source distribution of their routines,
I cannot distribute splin2.c which is necessary for ContourView. However,
you can create my version of splin2.c using the "patch" program and applying
the patch to the original files.
[The restrictions stink, but I guess I have to be legal even if the rules
are virtually unenforceable.]
Here's how:
[1] Obtain the following files from "Numerical Recipes in C" disk, and
store them into the subdirectory ./NumRec
splin2.c splie2.c splint.c spline.c nrutil.c
These files should be obtained, if possible, from the 1-st edition's disk.
I do not know if these files have changed from the 1-st to the 2-nd edition.
[2] Rename them to *.c.orig, so you will have the following files in NumRec
splin2.c.orig splie2.c.orig splint.c.orig spline.c.orig nrutil.c.orig
Files MakeNR.sh and NRpatch should already be here.
[3] Type "MakeNR.sh" from Terminal in NumRec directory.
This creates the file splin2NEW.c.
[4] Copy splin2NEW.c into the source directory as splin2.c
[5] Build the application ContourPlot.
## NOTE: If you do not have the program "patch", you should get it. If
you don't want to mess with sources, executable for NeXT is available
from "sutro.sfsu.edu" [130.212.15.230] as /pub/patch.Z via anonymous FTP.
## NOTE2: Be aware that there is a bug in the splin2.c in the book (both
1-st and 2-nd editions and on the disk). The patch fixes it.
