Thanks- that is what I saw before and feared, but the instructions for
loading J904 are those for earlier versions-hence the confusion.
For what I want to do, I will stay with 903 as that is more than
adequate. I like to deal with power system and machine analysis, and
using J is fun ( as well as some frustration that is self generated) .
Maybe my computer will end life before me- that is a race -I'm 91+ and
my brain needs exercise.

The following is written in Eric's email announcement of j9.4.2 . It looks
like your cpu is avx but not avx2 capable. If your cpu actually supports
avx2 then you can download and use the appropriate J binary manually.
Previous releases had versions: j64, j64avx, and j64avx2. Machines limited
to avx are less and less common and no longer warrant the support effort.
Install or upgrade will provide the version appropriate for your hardware.
If you are running j64 and are concerned with performance you will at some
point need to upgrade your hardware.

I have installed J904 and it runs well except that avx is not
available , so 903 is faster. Is it that the present 904 does not
recognize the older version -even though the information includes it.
Is there a way to deal with this?
