On further testing I am not sure that this is free of the C stack -- it might just be a bug. If I change the definition of successor such that it displays the intermediate results, J crashes. successor=: lambda 'f n' try. f`:6 ([ smoutput) n+1 catch. n end. ) -- Raul ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For information about J forums see http://www.jsoftware.com/forums.htm
