Hi all PartitionTuples is actually used, in some of my programs and now one time in patch #11412, and further in patch #11414 (submitted day before yesterday). If one wants to give all partitions of given weight, but indexed through their core and quotient, it makes sense to use PartitionTuples to index the quotients. A note on deprec(i)ation: is there a formal description somewhere of that process? Paul
