Vectors. Data frames are lists of vectors. Create longer vectors and perform computations vector-wise on all simulation data sets at once. Depending on the type of simulation, matrices and linear algebra may help as well. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Jeff Newmiller The ..... .....
