Can you have ragdoll without physics lib

I want to create ragdoll physics without including a physics lib. I really have'nt got a clue where to start, but was wandering if anybody had already created this or could at least give me some tips on getting started.

To be honest proper ragdoll physics are not neccessary (IMHO) but faked ragdoll will sufice in almost every situation.

Check out Verlet Intergation - this is probably the way to go. There is a good tut written by a guy Jacobsen who worked on the Hitman for ps2. Also, I have a couple of ragdoll demo's done by others which I could e-mail you when I get home.

Thanks Stevie
