The Maple Share Library
=======================
In this directory, you will find the files
README -- this file
address -- internet numbers, important addresses
fixes -- instructions for installing updates to the Maple library
guide -- instructions for contributing code to the Maple share library
agree -- a form to be signed by users who wish to contribute code
usage -- instructions for using code in the Maple share library
ftp -- other ftp sites with Maple codes
ls-lR -- a Unix file listing the dates of all files in the share library
and the subdirectories
4.3 -- code for Maple version 4.3
5.0 -- code for Maple V
5.2 -- code for Maple V Release 2
MTN -- software for preparing articles for the Maple Technical Newsletter
Under the 4.3, 5.0 and 5.2 subdirectories, you will find the directories
lib -- bug fixes, help file corrections, and efficiency improvements
share -- Maple codes (routines) and documentation contributed by Maple users
test -- Test files (containing additional test examples)
and the files
lib.tar.Z -- compressed Unix tar file for the ".m" files under lib
share.tar.Z -- compressed Unix tar file for the share directory
text.tar.Z -- compressed Unix tar file for the test directory
The lib directory
=================
Contains bug fixes/updates to Maple library routines and help file corrections.
Read the "fixes" file in this directory for installation directions.
The share directory
===================
The share directory contains Maple application codes and worksheets which
have been contributed by various authors. There you will find a file called
CONTENTS which summarizes everything in the share directory.
In addition to Maple code and worksheets (.ms files), you will find additional
documentation files. Files ending in .ps are PostScript files, files ending
in .tex are TeX and LaTeX files, files ending in .ms are Maple worksheets.
Note also that the files summary, summary.tex, and summary.ms contains a
summary of the new features in this version of Maple.
The Symbolic Computation Group of the university of Waterloo will endeavor
to maintain these codes from version to version but makes no claims
as to the correctness of these codes.
The lib.tar.Z, share.tar.Z, and test.tar.Z files are compressed
Unix tar files for the lib, share, and test directories respectively.
These files were created by executing these Unix commands
tar cf lib.tar lib/*.m lib/*/*.m lib/*/*/*.m lib/*/*/*/*.m;
compress lib.tar
tar cf share.tar share; compress share.tar
tar cf test.tar test; compress test.tar
After copying these files, they can be unpacked by executing
uncompress lib.tar; tar xf lib.tar
uncompress share.tar; tar xf share.tar
uncompress test.tar; tar xf test.tar
Contributing code to the share library
======================================
Users are invited to contribute code to the Maple share library.
If you wish to contribute routines and/or packages, you should read the
file "guide" which contains guidelines for user contributions and the
file "address" which contains the address of where to send your code.
