Problems

If you find any problems with the current INSTALLATION of Maple at SLAC, please contact unix-admin by e-mail . Problems with the OPERATION of Maple should NOT be directed to me but to Maplesoft through their usual support channels, UNLESS the misbehavior is due to an installation problem.
