Minimal example: <hansl> function void foo(void) smpl 3 ; end function nulldata 200 loop i = 1 .. 10 smpl 1+i 100+i foo() endloop </hansl> 2) the "fcast" commands after the "carr" functoin call will not produce the results you might expect, since "carr" is not a builtin command 3) I noticed that the carr package uses the deprecated sprintf command; it would be nice if its author could update it. ------------------------------------------------------- Riccardo (Jack) Lucchetti Dipartimento di Scienze Economiche e Sociali (DiSES) Università Politecnica delle Marche (formerly known as Università di Ancona) r.lucchetti(a)univpm.it http://www2.econ.univpm.it/servizi/hpp/lucchetti -------------------------------------------------------
