Wow. Is that a legal port of Numerical Recipes code? I don't see how it
can be. Numerical Recipes is commercial code. It is not freely
distributable at all. Really, it is the worst of all possible worlds:
commercial code that is generally inferior to free alternatives.
There is no way we could use anything from Numerical Recipes, even if we
wanted to.
