I occasionally have problems with packages that ran fine under Mathematica 3.0, returning error messages under Mathematica 4.0. Usually, the errors are identified by a description and a line number, i.e. Syntax::"com": "Warning: comma encountered with no adjacent expression; the \ expression will be treated as Null. \!\(\" (line 7349 of \\\xxx.m\\\")\"\)" Forgive this rather dumb question, but how to I find a particular line number in a package, particularly with a large package as in the example above? This tends not to be a problem with the official WRI add-ons, since updates are readily available. Still, a number of useful third-party packages didn't make the transition smoothly, and some of these errors can presumably be easily amended. A.
