      Complex numerical methods often contain subproblems that are easy to state in mathematical form, but difficult to translate into software. Several algorithmic issues of this nature arise in implementing a Newton iteration scheme as part of a finite-difference method for two-point boundary value problems. We describe the practical as well as theoretical considerations behind the decisions included in the final code, with special emphasis on two ``watchdog'' strategies designed to improve reliability and allow early termination of the Newton iterates.
