I finally gave up after 262 minutes of CPU time on an Intel Core 2 Quad processor running at 3.6GHz. I have a lot of virtual memory I could throw at this problem, but only 8GB of RAM. MathKernel had grown to 9889MB of virtual memory, but was only getting about 4% CPU usage because it was thrashing. Scott -- Scott Hemphill hemphill at alumni.caltech.edu "This isn't flying.
