MuPAD ... README


Dear MuPAD User!

The currently available MuPAD release is 1.2.1a
It was released in October 1994 and can be copied by the usual routine: Connect to a MuPAD ftp server , login as user ftp or anonymous, change to the MuPAD ftp-directory and copy the files you need. - Note: Before you try to copy MuPAD read our FTP-FAQ to find a MuPAD ftp site located near to you !!

MuPAD Versions:
In the ftp-directory you will find the sub-directories unix and macintosh which contains a README, all binaries and a share-file with libraries and manuals. Refer to the list of supported systems and also read their corresponding technical information pages.

MuPAD Restrictions:
This MuPAD ftp version is a demo version, having all of MuPAD's functionality, but is restricted in its availability of memory. It can be upgraded to a full version by obtaining a MuPAD license (that is free of charge) and a registration procedure.

For the Unix workstations you have to call the MuPAD system function register, on a Macintosh system there is a corresponding menu item in the menu bar. In both cases you need the code word and the code provided to you by separate mail.

You are free to distribute the demo version to anybody, however you must not distribute your key or the decoded version!

MuPAD More Information:
On our ftp and www server you will find further information from our group, most of it related to the MuPAD system. For example, the talk messages, additional libraries and documentation, and most important, copies of the mathPAD Journal. If you are not among those who receive a paper copy of that journal, you should have a look on the issue of March 15, which is published entirely in English, and describes the new features in MuPAD 1.2 in a leisurely style.

MuPAD e-mails:
As usual you will receive from time to time our talk messages, in the future certainly more frequently than in the past. However you have to make sure that we have your valid e-mail address. Some of our e-mail messages are undeliverable for one reason or another. If e-mail bounces back more than once we remove the address from our files. So if you do not receive any talk messages for more than four month, most probably we had trouble reaching you, and have therefore removed your address. In that case, please send us a message ant tell us the number of the last talk-item you received. This allows us to take your new message on file.

If you have problems or questions, please write an e-mail to:
