- =======================
-
- 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.
