Re: problem size limits



Dear Denny,

If you run the job with options  -dls8
it will produce a .asl file which would show me how far it got.
i.e.  Formed SSP, inverted SSP, formed working variables etc

You .asr file was not attached.

Repeated attempts to run this job result in an error message: Too BIG! use -s 
option.  The job was invoked using, for example, the command:
