Thanks, I believe those issues have been addressed with PDL-2.014 and our pre-release testing. However, we won't know for sure until you can run your own. I understand not shaking the boat during the transition but PDL-2.014 has some 63 bug tickets closed since PDL-2.007 along with new support for 64bit integer indexing so when the time is appropriate, it would be a big step forward for the Debian PDL package. --Chris ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ pdl-devel mailing list pdl-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/pdl-devel
