The IDL-functions below are the Bessel-functions
K_0(y) and K_1(y) taken from "Numerical Recipes in C"
(Press et al. 1992, Cambridge Univ. Press) and
translated to the
Interactive Data Language. Should your question refer
to the other idl (I am sufficiently ignorant not to know if this
is a possibility), please apologize for bothering.
You can construct higher order bessel functions by

-2n / x * K_n(x) = K_(n-1) (x) - K_(n+1) (x)


Best wishes,
Michael
