Hello;

In summary, the citation for the algorithm is:

	Bulirsch, Roland, "Numerical Calculation of Elliptic Integrals
	and Elliptic Functions," Numerische Mathematik 7, pp 78--90,
	(1965) 

Be sure to read the algorithm annotations and code comments carefully
to find out how to calculate Z(u|m).  [I missed it the first time.]

The specific algorithm is Algorithm 2 on page 82.  The calculation is 
apparently performed through a Gauss transform on the modulus; Byrd &
Friedman, Handbook of Elliptic Integrals for Engineers and Scientists,
2nd Ed. rev., p 39.

As with the other "Handbook Series Special Function" papers in Numer.
Math., there is Algol 60 code in a procedures section for each algorithm.

Thanks Victor!

Reverenter,
Jason
