Re: where are the source code?

Hi Dennis,

The point raised by the original mailer (i can't read the name) is
a valid one, i.e, the user would like to have some idea of the
workings of the subroutine or function s/he is using. It would be
nice if there was additional documentation outlining what algorithm a
function uses (or it could point to the relevant literature or
web-link). As you know some proprietary programs, for instance Matlab,
provides this kind of information.

Best regards,

saji
