Sarcastic much, are we ?

Sorry to disillusion you, but quoting myself:

Too bad you didn't read it.

Thanks for taking the trouble to key in my program into the PC-1403H, appreciated. That model is slow as molasses and the fact that you had to use FOR..NEXT loops to clear and copy matrices at each of the 60 steps slows down the program even further.

I would be curious to know how long does it take Mr. Chan's fastest non-symmetric (general) program to run the (30, 60) case in: (a) The 1403H, and (b) a physical HP-71B, if you'd obligue.
