Thank you for the recommendation, but the issue of using Windows NT or Windows 95 is not relevant here. Under Mathematica 3.0 for Windows, the kernel is actually split into two components -- a small "loader" program and a larger dynamic link library (mathdll.dll) which contains the kernel's functions. The loader handles mostly system-specific routines. There are two different loaders -- MATH.EXE, which runs the kernel from a console and MathKernel.exe, which runs as an actual Windows-type program. There is a problem with the MathKernel.exe loader which causes the kernel to quickly drop out of a calculation with an "Out of Memory. Exiting" error message. This problem has been addressed, and a new MathKernel.exe loader program is available from the support FTP site. This is what I was pointing out to the user. He has since replied to me that this was indeed the problem he was encountering, and the new loader made the problem go away. -- P.J.
