Welcome to Maple V Release 5 Student Version!

Please note that the Student Version does not include all the features
and components available in the full version of Maple V. Since the
documentation included in this package covers the full version, you may
notice some differences between your product and the documentation.

This file describes the following topics:

   1. System Requirements
   2. Installation Instructions
   3. Contents of the Maple Directory
   4. Undocumented Product Changes
   5. Notes
   6. Using MATLAB and Maple V


System Requirements
-------------------

Before beginning the installation of Maple V Release 5, check that
your computer fulfills the following minimum requirements:

  * Intel 486DX, Pentium, or fully compatible processor, 
    or a 486SX with a hardware floating point coprocessor added
  * 32 MB of free hard disk space
  * 8 MB of RAM
  * Microsoft Windows NT 4.0+, or  Windows 95


Installation Instructions
-------------------------

1. Insert the Maple program CD-ROM or Program disk 1 into the 
   appropriate drive.

2. Choose Run from the Start menu (Windows 95 and Windows NT 4.0).

3. In the dialog box, type
   
           d:\setup.exe

   If your drive is not labelled d, substitute the correct drive letter
   in the command above.

4. A Welcome screen introduces you to Maple V Release 5.  Click on NEXT
   to proceed.

5. The Software License Agreement screen appears. To continue installing
   Maple V Release 5, you must read the license agreement and accept it by
   clicking on YES.

6. The Choose Destination screen suggests a location for the Maple V 
   Release 5 files. Click on NEXT to copy the files. If you wish to 
   select another location to place the files, click on BROWSE.  

   Note:  If there is not enough hard disk space, you will receive an 
   error message requesting more space or a new location to copy the
   files.

Notes:
------

The installer will also search all of the drives for the CRC 
Standard Math Interactive program.  If this program is on your 
machine, a dialog will ask you if you wish to upgrade the 
mathematical tool of Standard Math Interactive to Maple V Release 5.     

The Student Version of Maple V Release 5 restricts the functionality of
certain commands, which might affect examples in the manuals or the 
online help.


Contents of the Maple Directory
-------------------------------

The installation procedure requires 32 MB of disk space and, by
default, places the Maple V Release 5 files in 
d:\Program Files\Maple V Release 5 (Windows 95 and Windows NT).  In
this folder, you should see the following files and directories:

  README.TXT       This file
  MINT.TXT         Description of the Mint Maple syntax checker
  UPDTSRC.TXT      Information on updating source code to Release 5
  AFM              Directory containing font information
  BIN.WNT          Directory containing Maple V executable programs 
                   for Windows NT or Windows 95 users 
  ETC              Directory includes the readme and style file for 
                   LaTeX 
  LIB              Directory containing Maple V library files 
  LICENSE	   Directory containing Maple V licensing information 
  UPDATE           Directory is currently empty and will be used to 
                   store updates to the Maple Library.  

Undocumented Product Changes
----------------------------

Print Quality

  The Print Quality menu item from the Options menu controls the
  resolution used when printing plots. The resolution options are High
  (300 dpi), Normal (200 dpi) and Draft (100 dpi): the default setting
  is Normal. Higher resolutions produce better images, but plots will
  take longer to print than if the Print Quality was at a lower
  setting. The Print Quality setting is saved for the next Maple
  session if the settings have been saved using Auto Save Settings or
  Save Settings from the File menu.


Notes  
----- 

Printing a Selection: 

  Please note that Print Selection is not available in Maple. Windows 
  provides the Print dialog box, but Maple greys-out the "Selection" 
  button. 

Configuring the License Manager:

  The Student Version of Maple comes pre-licensed, so you do
  not need to configure the license manager.  If you are installing
  a network version of Maple, please refer to the network
  installation instructions included in the Installation Guide.


Using MATLAB and Maple V
------------------------

MATLAB is an interactive system and programming language for 
general scientific and technical computation. You must have a copy
of both MATLAB (version 5) and Maple V Release 5 installed under
Windows 95 or Windows NT to use the Maple-MATLAB link. 

If you are using MATLAB, Maple will need to be able to find MATLAB
files in order to link the applications together.  The PATH 
environmental variable will need to be set using one of the 
following methods.

All of the instructions below assume that MATLAB is installed
in the C:\MATLAB directory on your machine. If MATLAB is installed
in another location, substitute the correct location for your copy 
of MATLAB in the following steps.

Windows 95

   Add the following command to the end of your C:\AUTOEXEC.BAT 
   file:

           PATH=%PATH%;C:\MATLAB\BIN;

   Restart the computer by choosing Shut Down then Restart from 
   the Start menu.

Windows NT
 
   Click on Settings, then Control Panel from the Start menu.

   Select System and choose the Environment tab.

   Look at the "User Variables" section.  If there is an entry 
   with Variable PATH, click on the entry and append the text
   c:\matlab\bin to the Value field.  If there is no Variable
   PATH, type PATH in the Variable Field and add c:\matlab\bin; 
   to the Value field.

If the MATLAB Link does not work properly from within Maple, you
may need to update the Windows Registry with information about
MATLAB's location.  Follow these steps to update the Registry.

   Get an MS-DOS prompt by choosing Command Prompt from the Programs
   on the Start menu.

   Change to the C:\MATLAB\BIN directory by typing two commands:

             c:
             cd \MATLAB\BIN
  
   Type the following to update the Registry

             matlab /regserver

You should now be able to use the MATLAB link.
