It would be nice to layout a couple of underlying diff eqs and then solve or integrate those expressions as needed. On the other hand, I can just manually write out all of the functions I need without using some higher level library. The first method seems slicker. The latter method might be more likely to get done. For any of you following this thread, I did find ccmath which is a math library in C which claims to do some of the things I need. I may make a port (if it builds cleanly) it just for the heck of it. Thanks to all for your help. Its a big, big internet out there. Your help has narrowed it down some. Thank you, Jason C.
