There are a few such machines around among R users, and R seems to work OK on them. One slight gotcha is that the Fortran numeric libraries (Lapack, ATLAS) tend to use integer indexing, which might overflow for large objects. Things like data frames which consist of multiple subobjects might be less sensitive to this. -- O__ ---- Peter Dalgaard Blegdamsvej 3 c/ /'_ --- Dept. of Biostatistics 2200 Cph.
