Thanks

Yes MATHLINK
I apologize for the error

I have never said to have to resolve a linear system.
What you have in mind ( I suspect), it is a wrong hypothesis

This to my notice is wrong. There are methodologies that reduce the
order of calculation ("Matrix Computation" Golub/ Van Loan or
"Accuracy and stab..." Higham)

However thanks for the availability. I now have however definite to
continue with the c++ and every doubt of mine I will turn t on the NGs
of such language
Thanks
