Re: Where I find Bessel function for Ada ?

[Per Sandberg <per.sandberg@bredband.net>]

Had to do a bit of looking around before saying anything but after some 
looking and a bit of hacking a may say this:
* The GSL library contains what you are looking for.
* It is fairly simple to write a medium level binding to that library, 
especially using GCC/GNAT.
I could post my small experiments if there is any interest.
