Dear Paola,
thank you for your answer. Dynamic memory allocation is of course very good
news! So the nummber of voxels I can import will be limited only by the
amount of RAM I have, am I right?
I had some interesting ideas, which I wanted to try, but nothing urgent, I
will wait for the next FLUKA release.
Regards
Yuri
