- ===== Information for Users ("READ-ME") ================
-
- Mathplot is a mathematical function plotting system which allows you to
- enter functions using ordinary algebraic notation and immediately plot
- them. Cartesian, polar, and parametric functions are supported, and up
- to four functions may be displayed simultaneously. A variety of built-in
- functions are provided. Plotting commands may be executed from command
- files. Mathplot is an ideal tool for engineers, scientists, math and
- science teachers, and anyone else who needs to quickly visualize
- mathematical functions.
-
- Mathplot is a "shareware" product. You are welcome to make copies of
- this program and pass them on to friends or post this program on
- bulletin boards (in its original, unmodified form).
-
- As a shareware product, you are granted a no-cost, trial period of 30
- days during which you may evaluate Mathplot. If you find Mathplot to be
- useful, educational, and/or entertaining, and continue to use it beyond
- the 30 day trial period, you are required to compensate the author by
- sending the registration form in REGISTER.DOC with the appropriate
- registration fee to help cover the development and support of Mathplot.
-
- In return for registering, you will be authorized to continue using
- Mathplot beyond the trial period and you will receive the most recent
- version of the program, a laser-printed, bound manual, and three months
- of support via telephone, mail, or CompuServe. Your registration fee
- will be refunded if you encounter a serious bug that cannot be
- corrected.
-
- Mathplot requires 512KB of memory and a CGA, EGA, or VGA display. An
- 80x87 numeric coprocessor greatly improves its execution speed, but is
- not required. Mathplot has been successfully run on dozens of computer
- types ranging from 8088's and laptops to 486's.
-
- The Mathplot system consists of the following files:
-
- MATHPLOT.EXE -- The executable program.
- MATHPLOT.FON -- Font file used for title line and axis labels.
- MATHPLOT.LJF -- Fonts for HP LaserJet printer.
- MATHPLOT.FUN -- Example functions
- MATHPLOT.DOC -- Documentation file.
- REGISTER.DOC -- Software registration form. Please register your use.

- ===== Installation =====================================
-
- To install Mathplot, copy the files into the directory of your choice. If
- the MATHPLOT.HLP and MATHPLOT.FON files are not in your current directory
- ,
- you must place a command of the following form in your AUTOEXEC.BAT file
- to
- tell Mathplot where to look for its help and font files:
-
- SET MATHPLOT=directory
-
- Where "directory" is the name of the device and directory where the files
- are located. For example, if the files are located in a directory named
- MATHPLOT on the C disk, the following command could be used:
-
- SET MATHPLOT=C:\MATHPLOT
-
- Start Mathplot by typing the DOS command:
-
- MATHPLOT
-
- Press Enter after you have finished reading the title screen. The F5 key
- executes built-in example plots. Each time you press F5, a different
- example is displayed. I suggest you use this feature to display a few pl
- ots
- in order to get a feeling for how Mathplot works and what types of comman
- ds
- are used to produce plots. Press any key to continue with execution after
- you finish looking at a plot.
-
- Press F3 to call up the help menu.

- ===== License for Use and Distribution =================
-
- There are two versions of the Mathplot program: shareware and
