| This website uses the web to distribute Maple worksheets. These Maple files are not intended for viewing with a browser. You must open them with a Maple reader. Your system may be configured to launch such a reader when you click on a link to a *.mws file. If not, then just save the file. For, example, if you are using Netscape from Windows platform, then right-click on an icon and choose the "Save As" option. Because Maple worksheets are plain text files, browsers will display them when so-directed. However, the characters will have no meaning to you. Thus, if your browser displays a Maple file after you click on a link, ignore the display and save the downloaded file (preferably with the Maple worksheet mws extension). Then use Maple to open up the file that you have saved. |
