I found 320 was sufficient. This works, but it should be noted that the numbers 160 and 320 mentioned will be the resulting env. sizes in BYTES from nn=10 and nn=20 (default nn=10.) That is, to get 320 bytes for environment, you should use nn=(320/16)=20... *************************************************************************** Dale Gass, Dalhousie U., Halifax, N.S., Canada UUCP: {seismo|watmath|utai|garfield}!dalcs!dalegass.UUCP or dalegass@dalcs.UUCP ...!dalcs!dalcsug!dalegass.UUCP or dalegass@dalcsug.UUCP CDN: dalegass@cs.dal.cdn CSNET: dalegass%cs.dal.cdn@ubc.csnet ARPA: dalegass%cs.dal.cdn%ubc.csnet@CSNET-RELAY.ARPA
