My Math toolkit has been lying around dormat for some time so I forgot
to look there. Thanks! It works perfectly.

Indeed, tennis is my game. And now that the subject of the Nuggets
has been brought up I'm giving up basketball entirely. :-(

Cheers,

David

P.S. Let's just say I'm the only non-seeded player left in the
quarter finals of 4.0 draw of the big Memorial Day tournament. We're
about to find out if I'm playing as good as I think I am playing
in about two hours when I play the No. 2 seed. :-(

I did knock of some hot-shot youngster from the University
in a three-setter when I used smarts instead of power. Maybe
there *is* something to be said for getting older. :-)

David, I thought tennis was your forte ;-) As an avid hoopster myself,
all I can say is that the apparent "slam-dunk" hit back-iron and
rebounded all the way back to mid-court. You should be familiar with
this since you are presumably a Nuggets fan :-P

Do have the IMSL Math/Stats option for PV-WAVE? If so,
then a good option for non-linear fitting is the
NLINSQ function, which solves a nonlinear least-squares
problem using a modified Levenberg-Marquardt algorithm.

Hope this helps,
