- Hmmm. Don't tell my OS/2 2.0 GA+SP setup that you cannot run Mathcad 3.1...
- It runs quite nicely on my machine. The only problem is that I cannot open
- it a second time unless I bump the number of files to an incredible number.
- You need to set the DMPI memory to at least 64 megs and set it to on rather
- than auto.

- I agree that for the $49 price that I was given, it has to be the best
- calculator/scratch pad for the price. I used derive before this due to
- the choice of it as a versatile teaching aid but it is not as powerful
- as MathCad due to the inclusion of some of the Maple engine in Mathcad 3.1
