The version number is >2.2. I get the same behavior on NeXT and DEC Alfa. The current version V2.2 of NDSolve does not support indexed variables, so you could use something like Out[6]= {x''[t] == -Sin[t] + x[t], x'[0] == 0, x[0] == 0} In[7]:= In[7]:= NDSolve[sys,x,{t,0., 10.}] Out[7]= {{x -> InterpolatingFunction[{0., 10.}, <>]}} In the version under development most N* functions in mathematica will be supporting also indexed variables.
