- This archive contains the limited version of Mathomatic, the algebraic
- manipulator. A tutorial program is included which contains some interesting
- information and a demonstration section is included at the end.
-
- The limited version of Mathomatic has been incorporated into the tutorial
- program to eliminate duplicated code. This reduced the size of this archive by
- 50%. The limited version is now more powerful than any previous limited
- versions and is now fully functional.
-
- This archive may be freely distributed as long as none of the files inside are
- modified or missing.
-
- The files that should be in the archive are:
-
- ADV.TXT Advertisement and description of Mathomatic.
- AMTUTOR.EXE The Mathomatic tutorial, demo, and limited program.
- GRAPH.EXE The Mathomatic Graph program (Requires EGA or VGA).
- ORDER.FRM The Mathomatic order form.
- README This file.
-
- To run the tutorial, type in "amtutor" at the DOS prompt. If you have a color
- computer and you have the "ANSI.SYS" driver loaded, you can see how Mathomatic
- works in color by typing "amtutor -c" at the DOS prompt. In color mode,
- Mathomatic outputs ANSI escape sequences to make each level of parentheses a
- different color. To execute the limited version of Mathomatic, select it from
- the tutorial main menu.
-
- In color mode, Mathomatic changes the default color on your screen to green.
- The procedure for running ANSI programs without changing the default color is
- contained in the Mathomatic manual, which is only available to registered
- users.
-
- You must have at least 640K of memory in your computer to run Mathomatic.
- Mathomatic runs on all IBM-PC and IBM-PC/AT compatibles with the MS-DOS
- operating system. The Mathomatic "graph" command requires EGA or VGA and
- MS-DOS version 3.0 or higher. A math coprocessor is recommended and always
- used if available.
-
- The number of equation spaces and the equation size are limited in this limited
- version of Mathomatic.
-
- Mathomatic is written in Microsoft C V5.1, is self-testing, and strictly
- follows the rules of algebra. Mathomatic is powerful enough for users to check
- their answers/solutions, making it the most reliable math program available!
-
-
-
- Registered users get the full sized version of Mathomatic with hardcopy manual
- and prime number tools. The full sized version has more equation spaces and
- allows equations four times larger than the limited version allows. And it can
- be executed directly from the DOS command line.
-
- To become a registered user and get the full sized version of Mathomatic,
- please do the following:
-
- 1) Print the file "ORDER.FRM". At the DOS prompt, type: PRINT ORDER.FRM
- 2) Fill it out.
- 3) Make out a check or money order payable to "George Gesslein II".
- It must be in U.S. dollars and drawn on a U.S. bank.
- A single user registration costs $49.95.
- 4) Send the order form with check or money order to:
-
- George Gesslein II
- RD#2 118 Sharpsteen Road
- Locke, New York 13092

- My home phone number, FREE technical support, and discounts on updates will be
- provided to those who register. Mathomatic is not copy protected.
-
- To contact the author of Mathomatic, send mail to the above address. The FREE
- technical support provided to registered users includes help in solving and
- combining equations, answers to any math questions you may have that I can find
- the answer to, a free update if you find a bug in Mathomatic, and the kind of
- expert, professional help you can only get directly from the author of an
- advanced math program.
-
- Please do NOT send me your equations or math questions if you have not
- registered your copy of Mathomatic. I cannot afford to reply to non-registered
- users.
