It is for me. On the other hand if push comes to shove I will help fix the problem. Making a good Bessel function routine isn't all that trivial, but the algorithms have been published and I think we could do just fine.On 10 August 2012 19:20, Steven G.

Realistically, complex-argument Bessel functions are not a killer feature. - Jordi G. H.
I don't think we should be getting our knickers in a knot though. The code on the netlib site is a modification of the original ACM code and I think the whole licensing thing is going to get real murky. I wonder if Amos is still around? He might be the best one to ask for permission. I will look into that.
