While trying real easy Calculations with mathematica 5 on solaris I  
encountered difficulties finding the right syntax:

Here I try solve some equations and write the four resulting variables  
a,b,c,d into a new matrix T:

s = Solve[{u1 == a v1 + b v2, u2 == c v1 + d v2}, {a, b, c, d}];
a = (a /. s)[[1]];
b = (b /. s)[[1]];
c = (c /. s)[[1]];
d = (d /. s)[[1]];
T = {{a, c}, {b, d}};

I'm sure this could be done easier, but I dont know how?

thanks!
Dominik
