Thanks, yes that would work if the arrays each had its own data file. But
what i find difficult to grasp is that what if the data is contained in one
file:

-----
row1
column1
elements or array1
row2
column2
elements of array2
..
-----

I need to:

---
open (file)

read in dimensions of array1
create the array1
fill the array1

read in dimensions of array2
create the array2
fill the array2

close (file)

allow the arrays to interact with one another
---

I cannot see a way around this.

thanks
