It's a non-trivial algorithm, especially for a full implementation, and would take a long time to explain. Also, I'm not good at explaining things (it would be better to read standard books on computer algebra such as Modern Computer Algebra by von zur Gathen). However, if you'd still prefer an explanation here, I can try. -- Bhuvanesh P.S.: The tower refers to a tower of extensions. Also, the Risch algorithm is not really needed for this particular problem. ==== > I'm using a 49 G...sorry, forgot to include that. I do also have a 48 G+ if > that helps.

It looks like all I'd really need to do to accomplish my objective then, would be to set up a user keymap with these functions readily accessible, and maybe write a thin wrapper so I don't have to deal with the # all the time. Is there a way to switch between multiple user keymaps? Does it work to replace UserKeys and UserKeys.CRC in the hidden directory? Mike ==== Good Afternoon Can someone explain how to open a 49g, preferably without a sledgehammer. Also has anyone ever tried to increase available ram without frying the insides. Just curious. Stan
