Eek! I just looked back at Angus' reply, and saw that it was not actually
in response to *my* question.

Sorry.

So the coprocessor thing might be it. Does MacPerl 4.1.8 not need one, but
5 does. 4.1.8 does work on my machine.

Also, as mentioned above, I don't know for sure if I have a math
coprocessor or not. Does anyone out there know what the story is for a
6115?

Thanks for your help (a lot!).
