- I am using MathCAD 3.0 too. It works perfectly under WIN-OS or seamless
- windows application. Mine is OS 2.0. There are two situations that I feel it
- insufficient. First, it seems easier to hit "not enough memory" under OS2
- instead of pure Win 3.1 environment. Especially after a lot cut-and paste.
- Second, the print_to_PS_file option under seamless windows application seems not
- working properly. The postscript printer does not recognize it. Even I get
- into WIN-OS and reset it. WIN-OS just won't save the print_to_PS_file option.
- So, actually what I did generally is getting into WIN-OS, resetting the
- print_to_PS_file option, firing MathCAD and then print the file. That will
- give you valid PS file.
-
- In my opinion, it's an excellent software. Instead of having those tiny
- programs flooded in your account, MathCAD takes care of that. I haven't touch
- my calculator (years ago, it's state_of_the_art, :-)) for a long time.
