TNT has constructors like:

TNT::Array1D<double>(int n, double * data)

which do not allocate a new C-array but that use "data" as their data-array.

I'm not sure whether TNT is still actively maintained, the TNT home page
was last modified in 2004, so you are probably right. But the TNT Arrays
are just what I need and I know of no alternative.
