- Thank you. We probably need to look at C++. The real problem is our
- engineering department does not want to switch from teaching Fortran
- to teaching C because they say C does not have the capability of
- handling complex numbers and matrices (as you mentioned) like Fortran
- can. The C package does not matter at this point, and the platform
- can be Windows3.1, Dos, Mac, Vax, or Linux. Thanks for your help.
