Maple V Release 4

Library Patch Level 2

This patch modifies the library files of Maple V Release 4. It makes the improvements listed below.

If you are using Maple V under Windows or OS/2, we recommend that you install the update patch 4.00b before installing this library patch. If you are using a Macintosh, we recommend that you install the update patch 4.00e before installing this library patch. If you choose to install the update patch at a later date, you must reinstall this library patch afterward.

If you are using Maple V under UNIX, no patches are required.

Installation Instructions (via FTP) Macintosh, Windows, and OS/2

1. Close Maple V.

2. Locate the directory that contains Maple V Release 4. Check to see if a subdirectory named <update exists. If no update subdirectory exists, create the subdirectory and change the libname variable in the Maple initialization file to look in the update directory first. Type ?libname in Maple for more information.

3. Download the three files maple.ind, maple.lib, and check.m to a temporary directory on your computer using binary transfer mode. It may be necessary to hold down the shift key (option key on a Macintosh) on your browser when you click on the files, in order to have them download properly.

Copy the three files to the update directory. Replace the existing files if necessary.

Test the installation of the patch. Start Maple V and type the command interface(patchlevel);

If the result is 2, the library patch has been installed correctly.

UNIX

UNIX users who have installed Maple V Release 4 already have the updated library files.
Do not install this patch.
