Dear Craig and Heinz,

in fact this is my problem: in the usual form F(x, A,B,C) = Y the data
uncertainties are on the right side, i.e. Y(x)+/-Err_Y(x), even if
Y=0, while in my case the data W(x) and Z(x) are within a functional
form which does not allow to isolate them on the right side.

In general if I have an equation F(x, Data(x) +/- Err_Data(x),
Params) = 0 and I try to write it as F +/- Err_F = 0, computing
Err_F as the error propagation of Err_Data through F, I get a
parameter-dependent uncertainty Err_F = Err_F(Params)!

This is why I cannot use CURVEFIT or the like (even MPFIT if I
understand). Can I?
