Hello, I run a small script under mathematica with my PowerMacintosh and the **same** (obtained by a copy-and-paste) program on my SGI. The results are not the same !!! It consists on the resolution (NSolve) of an system of two highly non-linear equations. The $MachinePrecision are not the same (macintosh=19, SGI=16). I would be greatful to have comments of this problem and the way to change the $MachinePrecision on my SGI. Thank you in advance. Frederic Bouyer Lab.
