Thank you both for the suggestions.  Yes, I did look at that web page 
but was wary of making the change to an earlier version of numpy.  I'm 
just a novice programmer not quite up to journeyman.  I was looking for 
people who were currently using it and what they were doing.

I have another computer (or two) with linux installed and runs well with 
current numpy.  I'll make the change on windows and if there is a 
problem will wait until January to work on windows.

Thanks again
