Curvefit on PV-Wave [message #20314]

Does anyone have a *PV-Wave* routine that will perform a non-linear
least squares fit? Apparently I am not the only one unhappy with
the standard CURVEFIT function; I have seen a number of IDL routines
that would probably give the desired results.

Maybe I should port these to PV-Wave? This appears to be somewhat
involved however.

This is a totally uninformed opinion, of course, but
I should have thought the porting would be a slam-dunk.

Cheers,

David

P.S. Let's just say I doubt if the +, -, *, and / operators
have changed much from when IDL and PV-Wave were the same thing. :-)

Gee, when are we going to have IMSL style options in IDL... :-(
