Instructions for using LibMotoSh (Shared Library):
=============================================================================
In order to use the libmoto shared library, drag it onto your System Folder.
Answer "Yes" when asked if you want the extension placed in the Extensions
folder. You do not need to restart your machine to use the library.
=============================================================================
TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS:
=============================================================================
LIBMOTO End-User's version replaces the following standard C functions:
* cos * exp
* sin * pow
* log * atan
* log10 * atan2
* sqrt
The versions of LIBMOTO available herein are provided "as is". LIBMOTO is
for the Mac OS for PowerPC.
The end-user version (named "LibMotoSh") is a shared library that updates
several functions from Apple's MathLib. When using the end-user version,
many standard Macintosh applications that use MathLib will run faster
automatically without any recompilation.
The Motorola libraries do not replace the standard Apple libraries. When
used in conjunction with the standard libraries, the Motorola libraries
offer performance improvements.
=============================================================================
POTENTIAL BUGS AND CONFLICTS:
=============================================================================
Motorola's LIBMOTO web site describes potential problems related to LibMotoSh.
In particular, changes to System 7.5.5 placed memory restrictions on LibMotoSh
and various other applications, causing numerous errors. System 7.6.x has
removed those restrictions, however, and LibMotoSh is expected to run with
few, if any, conflicts.
For full details on System 7.5.5 conflicts and other up-to-date reports, please
visit the LIBMOTO web site at:
