This means the increase in image size (on the same platform) was only 0.5%, yet the number of Mathematica functions in 6.0 was ~2100 while in version 7.0 was ~2550, which is an increase of ~17%. This means some major rewriting must have occurred to be able to add 17% more functions than before while keeping the size of the image about the same. http://12000.org/my_notes/compare_mathematica/index.htm Nasser
