  Finally, I write:

  Last I checked, Numerical Recipes was simply a collection of
  {subroutines|procedures|functions} --- no main programs to be found.
  It's up to you to provide the drivers to mix and match the procedures
  to suit yourself.  If you happen to be working in an environment that's
  so lame (1/2 :-) it won't let you get argv and argc, then you can:

    (a)  move to a new, possibly less restrictive environment
    (b)  adapt your main program to get options etc. in another way
    (c)  die
