    Try fudgit from ftp.physics.mcgill.ca.

    BTW, I completed a version able to load DYNAMICALLY any FORTRAN
    or C routine at run time. (You only need to compile the
    object and load it). For example, this allows you to compute the
    elliptic integral (of the second kind? Well, anything you want!)
    of a vector and plot the result using GNUPLOT.
    However, this feature is only available on IRIX for
    the moment. Does any one knows about dynamic loading in other OS?
    (e.g. SUNOS, AIX...) Reply by e-mail since this group
    is definitely not appropriate for this discussion.
