- This archive contains the limited version of Mathomatic, the algebraic
- manipulator. A tutorial program is included which contains some interesting
- information and a demonstration section is included at the end.
-
- The limited version of Mathomatic has been incorporated into the tutorial
- program to eliminate duplicated code. This reduced the size of this archive
- by 50%. The limited version is now more powerful than any previous limited
- versions and is now fully functional.
-
- This archive may be freely distributed as long as none of the files inside
- are modified or missing.
-
- The files that should be in the archive are:
-
- ADV.TXT Advertisement and description of Mathomatic.
- AMTUTOR.EXE The Mathomatic tutorial, demo, and limited program.
- ORDER.FRM The Mathomatic order form.
- README This file.
-
- To run the tutorial, type in "amtutor" at the DOS prompt. If you have
- a color computer and you have the "ANSI.SYS" driver loaded, you can see
- how Mathomatic works in color by typing "amtutor -c" at the DOS prompt.
- In color mode, Mathomatic outputs ANSI escape sequences to make each level
- of parentheses a different color. To execute the limited version of
- Mathomatic, select it from the tutorial main menu.
-
- You must have at least 512K of memory in your computer to run Mathomatic.
- Mathomatic runs on all IBM-PC and IBM-PC/AT compatibles with the MS-DOS
- operating system.
-
- The number of equation spaces and the equation size are limited in this
- limited version of Mathomatic.
-
- Mathomatic is written in Microsoft C V5.1, is self-testing, and strictly
- follows the rules of algebra. So you will never get a wrong answer with
- Mathomatic!
-
-
-
- Registered users get the full sized version of Mathomatic with hardcopy
- manual. The full sized version has twice the number of equation spaces
- and allows equations four times as big. And it can be executed directly
- from the DOS command line.
