General information about how to get and install MuPAD are given
in Installation of MuPAD.
This prerelease of
WinMuPAD is not available
by now!!!
We hope to publish a first version in spring/summer 1996. Please refer
to News & Infos for an further
anounncements.
Installation on Windows
In order to run WinMuPAD on your PC you must have Windows(tm) version
3.x or later installed on your PC and you should also have at least
10 MB of free harddisk space.
WinMuPAD is a so-called 32-bit application. In order to run it under
Windows 3.x you must install the WIN32S extension which comes with
the MuPAD distribution disks. Users of Windows 95(tm) do not need to
install this extension.
Installation of Win32s
Insert the WIN32S Disk in your floppy drive and run "setup.exe"
under Windows(tm) 3.xx. Follow the setup instructions and restart
Windows(tm) afterwards.
Installation of WinMuPAD
WinMuPAD comes on two disks. These disks contain the self-extracting
archives winmup1.exe and winmup2.exe. Before
extracting the files from these archives you have to create the
MuPAD root directory, i.e. the directory where all MuPAD files
are to be installed.
In the following example, MuPAD will be installed on drive
c: in the dirctory \winmupad Of course you
may choose a different drive and directory name.
Under MS-DOS just type
mkdir c:\winmupad
Then copy the archives to the directory created above, e.g. by typing
copy a:\winmup1.exe c:\winmupad
copy a:\winmup2.exe c:\winmupad
Of course you must insert the appropriate disks before copying the
files. After that, change to the MuPAD directory:
c:
cd \winmupad
and extract the archive files by typing
winmup1 /PATH
winmup2 /PATH
This extracts all files and creates a number of subdirectories. The
directory "bin" (i.e. "c:\winmupad\bin") contains the MuPAD
executable "mupad.exe". Under Windows install this file as
the MuPAD application by using the Program Manager(tm). Refer to
the Windows manual on how to create new Windows applications.
Now it should be possible to start MuPAD by double-clicking on its
icon.
Trouble shooting
If you encounter any problems during installation, carefully check if
you have carried out all steps described above in the correct order.
Remember: WinMuPAD will *not* run under Windows 3.x unless you have
installed the WIN32S extension and you *must* restart Windows after
installing this extension. If you still have problems, please
report
your problem via email to MuPAD-bugs@uni-paderborn.de.
