Well, I am happy to report that the programs seem to seemlessly switch to 5 digits. You should see this happen with cvs-cur sometime at the end of this year. The change should be largely transparent. (If a problem should later arise, I will deal with it then, probably by restarting at 100.) Best, Stephen -- Stephen Montgomery-Smith stephen@math.missouri.edu http://www.math.missouri.edu/~stephen
