Dear group,

I have a notebook with saved output cells; all calculated with
Mathematica 4.0.2 on SUN Solaris7.
Now we have Solaris8 and it looks like the results of my matrix
calculations are different (e.g. 0.00676 <-> 0.00684).
Could this indeed depend on the OS (using the same SUN computer). All
is with the same Mathematica 4.0.2 executable.

I know that Mathematica on different CPUs as well as different executables may show these differences, but how about this case?

Regards,
Bernd
