Hello Bernhard
Yes, you have guessed my (home) address.
I don't quite understand what you attached.
Have you changed the two lines from:
CONST M = 1536 * 100000H; (* 1.5 GByte *)
CONST N = 65536; (* cluster size for dll *)
to
CONST M = 512* 100000H;
CONST N = 512* 100000H; ?
I shall try increasing the first line to 1800 and see if I can use
more memory, but it will take me a few days to find the time!
Cheers
Robert
