- One of our Testing Department had the following to say about
- Mathematica:
-
- Mathematica Version 2.0.3
- For 386 MS-DOS 386/7 Version
- Single Machine License
-
- Mathematica for DOS is a protected mode program using Phar Lap 386 DOS
- extender. It is compatible with QEMM386 5.0 - 6.0 with some exceptions.
-
- Mathematica incorporates a password protection scheme that insures that
- it is run on a single CPU only. This involves recording ROM signatures
- and storing this information to a file called MATHPASS. This is not
- compatible with QEMM 6.0's ST:ealth features.
-
- QEMM386 6.0 users should disregard instructions given in the Release
- Notes for Mathematica Version 2.0 pamphlet. Before running MINSTALL, it
- helps to have these QEMM parameters in effect:
-
- DEVICE=C:\QEMM\QEMM386.SYS RAM FR=D000 EXT=3096
-
- Mathematica installation should proceed normally and the user can
- remove the EXT=3096 when completed.
-
- It appears that Mathematica will not run with the EMS Page Frame at E000
- reporting a Page Fault Error. This actually is a Phar Lap error
- message.
-
- Adding STealth parameters will cause Mathematica to ask for the password
- information after each command prompt. Remove ST:M or ST:F then reboot
- when running Mathmatica with QEMM 6.0.
-
- DESQview 386 Notes:
-
- Mathematica can be run and multitasked in DESQview 386. Here are
- some suggested settings to use:
-
- Memory Size (in K) 500
- Writes Directly to Screen Y
- Displays Graphics Y
- Virtualize Text/Graphics Y
-
- Advanced Options:
- Maximum Program Size 800
- Maximum Expanded Memory 3096
- Close on Exit Y
- Uses Math Coprocessor Y
