Dear Aramis
It would be better work if you use [] for arrays.

Well, the command
.COMPILE '/data/aramisgm/research/summer2003/rcm28u.pro'
results in the error
potloc(0),potloc(1),margin=margin)
^
% Syntax error.
At: /data/aramisgm/research/summer2003/rcm28u.pro, Line 313
potloc(0),potloc(1),margin=margin)
^
% Syntax error.
At: /data/aramisgm/research/summer2003/rcm28u.pro, Line 328
birkloc(0),birkloc(1),margin=margin)
^
% Syntax error.
At: /data/aramisgm/research/summer2003/rcm28u.pro, Line 357
vmloc(0),vmloc(1),margin=margin)
.
.
.
(eleven syntax errors, once per call), which is certainly enough info
to find the problem*. Thanks for pointing the way.

I notice you have hidden the hole card from us and won't tell
us the error message, so I'm only going to bet $5. But my
guess is your program ASPECT_MP, which isn't an RSI-supplied
command, is not on your path.
Where to I cash in my chips? :-)

David
