I had a clever idea last night for a completely general routine to
numerically solve a system of N coupled first order differential
equations simultaneously using a Runge-Kutta algorithm.  The only
way I can think of to conveniently pass an unspecified number of
pointers to functions is to construct an array of pointers to the
individual functions.  Imagine my alarm at discovering that this
is not legal.  Why not?  Can anybody help me out with this little
puzzle?
