Does anyone have source for the following:

	I'm planning to do some work involving ordinary differential
	equations. I will have some starting (initial) point, and a function
	that gives the derivative of the state variables in terms
	of the state variables.

	I want to implement the following numerical methods: Runge-Kutta
	(fourth	order), the Gears method (Gear's 1971 paper), and an
	Adams predictor-corrector method.

	The Runge-Kutta method appears fairly easy to implement.
	The others look to be more difficult.

If you have source to do any one of these, are any useful comments/suggestions,
please send me some mail. I'd prefer C source, but Fortran or (even) Pascal
would be fine.

	Thanks in advance,
