Since the "compatibility" check of the notebook was suggesting changing all of my Random[] calls, I assumed incorrectly that Random[] would no longer work. In fact Random[] backward compatibility has been maintained. The "compatibility" check should provide more information about its suggestions when they aren't really compatibility issues, but rather recommended performance improvements. > In any case, you don't really need to load the package; you can use > the symbols in contexted form, as in Developer`ToPackedArray[array]. That's a good solution to the Needs[] error. I have updated my package to do that, removed the Developer` from the BeginPackage header, and now it works. Thanks! Mark
