Maple qSeries Package (Windows 3.1x)

Installing the Maple QSERIES Package (Windows3.1x)

STEP 1.
First download either

WMPROG (25K) Txt file containing all necessary MAPLE programs.
WMPROG.ZIP (6K) ZIPPED VERSION OF WMPROG.

STEP 2.
Save this file in the directory C:\MAPLEV4\EXAMPLES. Here I am assuming you are using Maple V Release 4 which has been installed in C:\MAPLEV4.

If you downloaded WMPROG.ZIP you will need to unzip it. Go into DOS and do something like

C:\MAPLEV4\EXAMPLES> PKUNZIP WMPROG.ZIP

STEP 3. You will need a directory in which the package will be installed. Use MKDIR to create one if you dont have such a directory. For example, type (after the DOS prompt)

   cd c:\maplev4
   mkdir mylib

This creates the directory c:\maplev4\mylib.

STEP 4. Next you will need to create a MAPLE initialization file. Use an editor to create a text file MAPLE.INI. This file should contain the following line:

   libname:= libname, `c:\\maplev4\\mylib`:

NOTE: Be sure to use left-quotes (`) and the double-backslash \\. The file MAPLE.INI should be moved to your MAPLE startup directory which by default is c:\maplev4\examples. At the DOS prompt type

  move MAPLE.INI  C:\MAPLEV4\EXAMPLES

STEP 5. Start a Maple session and after the maple prompt type:

>   read wmprog;

The maple program wmprog should run ok (hopefully). This program should create the MAPLE binary file qseries.m and store it in the directory C:\MAPLEV4\MYLIB.

STEP 6.
Now after the program has run At the Maple prompt type

 
> with(qseries);

Do you get the following?

  [aqprod, etamake, etaq, findhom, findhomcombo, findnonhom, findnonhomcombo,
	      findpoly, jac2prod, jac2series, jacprod, jacprodmake, prodmake, qbin,
	      quinprod, sift, theta, theta2, theta3, theta4, tripleprod, winquist]

If so, then the package loaded successfully.
If this didnt work check the libname:

   libname;

STEP 7.
Read the documentation (well at least some of it):

DVI file (152 K).
DVIGZ compressed DVI file (43 K).
PS postscript file (328 K).
PSGZ compressed postscript file (93 K).

ENJOY.
Please report any bugs/problems to me.
