Numerical/probability packages for VW

> Does anyone know of (free) numerical packages for VisualWorks/

> The numerical packages I found on the repository seem to be limited

> Java and Smalltalk by Didier Besset may contain what I need, but  
> since our library unfortunately does not own it I can't really tell.
