2008.0. "Symoblic Math package sought" by JOBURG::BUCHANAN (dodging lions and wasting time) Mon Oct 30 1995 09:00

    	Is MAPLE still available gratis to folk within Digital? I'd be
    happy with a version for VMS or UNIX or PC.
    
    	If it is, where is it? The ZIGLAR::MAPLE conference seems dead, ghosts
    fluttering in its dusty corridors. Brrrrr! 
    
    	If its not available, what other symbolic math packages are available 
    to us for free? Is Mathematica any good yet?
    
    	In the worst case, does someone have a kit from the last available
    version of MAPLE, which they would be willing to make available, please?
    
    Cheers,
    Andrew.

Note 153.0               Maple V R2 Available (pointer)                2 replies

As you  know,  Maple  V  Release 2 is now shipping from Waterloo Maple
Software, Inc.   I have obtained a copy of the RISC ULTRIX product for
INTERNAL USE ONLY.  In addition, there is a PostScript file named:

maplev_install.ps

which is a copy of the ULTRIX installation guide (small document).

The latest version includes a full motif interface which allows one to
set many parameters including input and output fonts and sizes, how to
print and even the type of  lighting  in a 3D graphic.  In addition, a
license manager has been added to the  code so that the product can be
shared.  The first time that one uses  Maple  V Release 2, you will be
placed  into  the  license  manager and asked to answer  a  number  of
questions.    I will NOT place this information into the  installation
account  but  will ask you to e-mail me from your DEC  account  or  to
telephone me for the answers to the questions.

My e-mail address is: rosen@mazel.mro4.dec.com  or
                      mazel::rosen (DECnet)

My telephone is: DTN 297-5953; DDD (508) 467-5953

The Maple V Release 2 installation account on mazel
is: /mazelusers/maplevr2

The files to copy from this account are:
maple.tar.Z
maplev_install.ps

[I hope to add a "Getting  Started  in Motif" file later but most will
do fine navigating through the application.]

NOTE: The  tar  file  which was created has been compressed.  You must
      use the  uncompress  command  on the .Z file before using tar to
      extract the files  into  your maple directory.  The installation
      guide begins with the  assumption  that  you  have a tape or tar
      file.

I think  I have this account set-up properly for copying (dcp/ftp) but
let me know  if  I have made a mistake (definitely within the realm of
possibility!).

Enjoy!

Barry

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    I saw a question as to whether Maple V is available on OSF/1.  It is
    now available and shipping.  I have a copy available for internal use
    within Digital complete with installation instructions.  The install
    must be performed in two steps.  The first is to copy the tar file from
    me.  You can do this any way you desire.  The files are:
    
    maple_install.ps 
    
    mapleosf.tar.Z
    
    Send e-mail to me and I will send you the current password for the
    guest account from which you can FTP the files.
    
    Step 2 will be to send me another e-mail with the information requested
    in the instructions.  I will then send you the license installation
    information.

Andy,

There is no-one of which I know in Digital who now manages the 
relationship with Waterloo Maple Software nor will distribute the 
products internally.

I literally returned from a meeting with my manager minutes ago where 
I was instructed to stop this activity immediately.  Consequently, I 
will not be able to distribute any software to you (or anyone else).

Sorry that events played-out this way at this time.

Barry
