(Are the postings not getting through since this has already been
answered more than once during the last two weeks.  Well, no matter,
here is an instant replay).  If you want the code, take a look at
Turbo Pascal Numerical Toolbox, and/or Press & Flannery & al,
Numerical Recipes.  If you just want a program for solving the
roots, get /pc/ts/tsnum12.arc by anonymous ftp from uwasa.fi
archives.
