Naïveté?

Having been told that Numerical Recipes was a must-have for all scientists, coming across the following web page was a bit of a shock:
http://amath.colorado.edu/computing/Fortran/numrec.html

I haven't had time to check out their claims, but certainly some of the routines I've used appeared somewhat unstable... I still assume that this is my ignorance rather than theirs, but maybe I should delve a little deeper.

Either way, I'm happy that I've found http://www.netlib.org/. Even if most of the code relevant to me appears to be written in Fortran (a.k.a. Ancient Aramaic).
