You can catch this with a catch statement or just let it pass (in that case the program will call abort automagical). The chance that new will fail is however very small since the harddrive can be used to simulate a very large virtual memory.. Just of couriousity, why do you use double** in this way? Is it an imlementation of a matrix or something? / Pson
