Well, we would still like Xconq to run on "legacy" machines. I mean, if we didn't, we could also go to C99 or maybe C++, and we could assume a certain baseline processor speed. Another problem with 3D "tables" is not just memory considerations, but how unwieldy the GDL would be. Writing a 3D data set by hand can be rough for some people. Of course, things could be made somewhat easier if we ever get a DB-interface/GDL-generator tool like Klaus suggested.... Eric
