Can't find any documentation on this: (*avoid use of high - precision arithmetic*) Developer`SetSystemOptions["CatchMachineUnderflow" -> False] Spotted while reading Trott's Mathematica guidebook for programming. Why I think it could be important to me is because my particles as they come close would cause huge repulsion and that would be due to a mistake in the program, and I'd prefer an error message just like runtime for C-program. Any comment? Igor
