  12. Here is a program that allows you to fit a set of points to the closest
  13. polynomial.  It also has an imbedded matrix inverter/solver, which I couldn't
  14. find elsewhere on my ULTRIX system.
  15.  
  16. Note that solving for a polynomial above about the fifth order can easily
  17. cause floating point exceptions.
