It was fine. Notice that I also have much less memory than you do! I do not know what could be causing your problem. -- Ben Sapp Los Alamos National Laboratory email: Phone: (505)667-3277 Fax: (505)665-7920 URL: http://www.neutrino.lanl.gov/ -- ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Octave is freely available under the terms of the GNU GPL.
