Solution of least squares problem using LINPACK routines sqrdc and sqrls recoded in PASCAL.
Preferences files were implemented using Object Classes from Peter Broadribb and Jamie McCarthy. (Thanks)
There are many books and papers that I looked at to deal with the numerical aspects of programming, some of these are (and I am most thankful for their ideas or clarification):
