This directory contains UNIX-style patch files for updating
any previous Second Edition version of Numerical Recipes
to version 2.06.

Depending on your starting version, you must apply one OR MORE patches
IN A CERTAIN ORDER.  The files for doing this are named patchXX.YYY,
where XX is either

  CA (ANSI C Numerical Recipes programs)
  CI (C include and utility files, both ANSI and K&R)
  CK (K&R C Numerical Recipes programs)
  FM (MS-DOS Fortran Numerical Recipes programs)
  FU (UNIX Fortran Numerical Recipes programs)
  FV (VMS Fortran Numerical Recipes programs)

and YYY is the version TO WHICH the patch upgrades.  (Note that not
all values of XX exist for each value of YYY.  That is normal.)

If your starting       Then apply (if they exist)
version is:            IN THIS ORDER:

2,00 or earlier        patchXX.202  patchXX.204  patchXX.206
2.02                   patchXX.204  patchXX.206
2.04                   patchXX.206

The update files are all readable as ascii text files, so you can use
them to update your Numerical Recipes files by hand, if you don't have
(or know how to use) the standard UNIX-style patch program.

There are no significant changes in the example (driver) programs
between versions 2.00 and 2.06.
