Well, when I start it from the program-catalogue I am prompted to input a number, the same as entering in the input line, I tried diverse (2,3,50,100) on my HW2 always that error.

Are you running the code from https://github.com/hybridmachine/hpprime...eOfLife.hp ? I have a commented out SUBGROB line but no DIMGROB . It should prompt you for two things. The first is the size of the play board (50 works well for me) the second is the starting pattern. In any event, I am working on some memory optimizations, I think passing around the board matrix like that is eating up stack memory for the functions, I'm going to experiment with making it a program global then longer term I'll look at using bit masks instead of complete integers for the on/off state info held in that matrix.
