:-)No problem as such. Was just seeking the source code for these header files.Wanted to use a 2 functions from the book (for which I have the files), but wasn't able to locate the headers on google.Cheers,QuanTTwannabe

Google won't turn them up as they are not freely available--the NR folks sell them on their website.But if you have the book and the other files, they should be included. You might try searching on the media that came with the book.

Especially, if you want to use only two functions? It should be quite straithforward.

I bought Numerical Recipes in C++ and paid my money but you only get a printed version of the source code and headers. If you want the source code on a CD you have to pay yet more (and it's a lot more). I'm afraid I lose a lot of respect for the authors at this point.If they're going to go down this route rather than including a CD with the book, then my moral outrage needle isn't moving if people distribute hand-typed versions of nrutil.h or nrtypes.h etc.

Am having the same problem. Bought the Asian edition (the low priced one) of this book which does not include the CD.Achimg, you're right that using 2 functions (only) shouldnt be difficult. However, was just seeking these files for the sake of completeness in case I need to use more functionalities.Neways, thanks for the responses everybody..Rgds,QuanTTwannabe
