Can it be really "hugely different results" ? In this case, I would be hesitant to trust any of those. We have seen cases when PC version did not converge whereas the UNIX was fine, but in those case switching to g77 compiler on PC usually delivered results very similar to those obtained on UNIX. Could you (I mean, the NONMEM community), please, describe some particular examples of huge differences if you observe them ? Thanks, Leonid
