System Requirements
---------------------
Before beginning the installation of Maple V Release 4, check to see that
your computer fulfills the following requirements:
* Intel 386, 486, Pentium, or fully compatible processor
* 5 Mb of free hard disk space
* 8 Mb of RAM
* Microsoft Windows 3.1x or Windows NT 3.5x or Windows 95
Installation
------------
The following are the installation instructions for
Maple V Release 4 for these platforms:
MS Windows 95
MS Windows NT 3.5x
MS Windows 3.1x
Please note that Windows 95, Windows NT, and Windows 3.1 versions
come on the same set of disks.
1. Install on a system running Windows 95 by doing the following:
(a) Insert Disk 1 of the Maple V distribution disks, or if you
have the CD-ROM version, insert the CD-ROM.
(b) Within the Windows 95 environment, select START/RUN and type
"a:install" in the dialog box for the Run command. Then press
the Enter key, or click on the OK button (or run "install" from
the CD-ROM).
(c) Follow the instructions that the installer provides.
Insert the other distribution disks when requested.
2. Install on a system running Windows 3.1 or Windows NT by doing
the following:
(a) Insert Disk 1 of the Maple V distribution disks or if you
have the CD-ROM version, just insert the CD-ROM.
(b) Within the Program Manager select FILE/RUN type
"a:install" in the dialog box for the Run command. Then press
the Enter key, or click on the OK button (or run "install" from
the CD-ROM).
(c) Follow the instructions provided by the installer.
Insert the other distribution disks when requested.
If you are installing under Windows 3.1 and the installer tells
you that Win32s version 1.30 is not installed, please read "For
Windows 3.1 Users Only", below.
For Windows 3.1 Users Only:
Maple requires Win32s version 1.30 or higher to run under Windows
3.1x. If you do not have Win32s version 1.30 installed on your system
already, then you should install it before installing Maple. To
install Win32s version 1.30, choose File->Run from the Program
Manager and run the program, setup.exe, which resides on the disk
labeled `Win32s DISK 1', or in the directory `\windows\win32s\disk1'
on the CD. If you are certain that Win32s version 1.30 installation
or higher already exists, then you may press "Continue Anyway" to
install Maple without installing Win32s first.
Install Maple when the Win32s installation is complete.
Problems Installing Win32s (Windows 3.1 Only):
If Maple does not start up properly, or if the Microsoft program
Freecell does not run properly, then Win32s version 1.30 is not
properly installed on your computer. If you have installed Maple but
chose not to install Win32s at that time, please install it now by
inserting disk 1 of Win32s setup, or by choosing the
`\windows\win32s\disk1' directory of the CD.
If you continue to have problems, remove Win32s and re-install.
How to Remove Win32s (Windows 3.1 Only):
Follow this procedure only if you experience the problems described
in the section "Problems Installing Win32s", above.
Delete the WIN32S directory, the WIN32APP directory, W32SYS.DLL,
W32S16.DLL, and WIN32S.EXE from your hard drive. Although it is
possible to install Win32s version 1.30 on top of an old installation
of Win32s, it is better to remove the old files before installing the
new ones.
Edit the WIN32S.INI file on your hard drive. Below "[Win32s]", change
the line which reads "SETUP = 1" to read "SETUP = 0". Reboot your
computer and then re-install Win32s.
Microsoft provides the Win32s installer as it is a Microsoft product.
Waterloo Maple can not claim any responsibility for either
Microsoft's installer or their product.
If problems persist, please contact your Maple technical support
representative.
The Worksheet Interface
-----------------------
For help on the Worksheet Interface, see the help page ?worksheet.
You may view this page either by typing "?worksheet" at the Maple
prompt, or by choosing "Contents" from the "Help" menu and then
selecting "Interface" from the main Contents help page.
Viewing Other Worksheets
------------------------
You may view worksheets created by the full version of Maple V
Release 4 by choosing "Open" from the File menu. However, not
all commands in the full version of Maple are available in the
demo version. You may thus not be able to execute the commands
in some worksheets.
External Viewer for Web Browsers
--------------------------------
You may use this demo version of Maple as a external viewer to view
Maple worksheets on the World-Wide Web. To do so you will need to
configure your browser to start this demo version to view documents
which end with the suffix (type) ".mws" or ".ms".
In the preferences setup of your Web browser, enter the following:
Mime type: application
Mime sub-type: maplev4demo
File extensions: mws,ms
Action: Launch the application.
Command: C:\MVR4DEMO\Wmaple.exe -b C:\MVR4DEMO
If you have chosen to install the demo in a location other than
"C:\MVR4DEMO", then indicate the correct directory instead.
