Mike, The version on the download page is indeed 3.0.2. It sounds like you didn't install the new version correctly. You need to replace the JLink directory in the Mathematica layout with the new one you downloaded. To do this, control-click on your Mathematica 5.1 icon and select "Show Package Contents" from the popup menu. In the folder window that opens, you will see an AddOns folder. Drag the new JLink folder into the AddOns folder and say OK to the prompt that asks whether you want to overwrite the existing folder of the same name. You can test the version of J/Link you are getting by evaluating: <<JLink` JLink`Information`$Version A trick to see the location from which J/Link (or any other package) is being loaded is to use: System`Private`FindFile["JLink`"] Todd Gayley Wolfram Research
