Hi Dave

The data we would use would be very much like Squeaks FloatArray class, 
except double precision. If we used shared memory, as has been suggested 
in a branch of this thread elsewhere, then it should all be good.

At least I know now what to do in principle. I don't relish doing it in 
Windows though :-(

I spend an hour or so looking at the Fortran maths library to see if I 
could hack it to not use callbacks, but that really is a tall order.

Thanks again (to everyone),

Daniel
