Mathematica Notebook Test

This is a 210kb test document .

If you already have Mathematica on your system, you should associate it to this MIME type (application/mathematica) in your mailcap file or Helper Application list. If you do not have Mathematica on your system and cannot view this document then you need to install a viewer:

• UNIX:

  add the following viewer entry to your mailcap file:
  

  application/mathematica; XMathReader  %s
  

  where XMathReader is a Mathematica Notebook viewer.

  You may quickly get a copy of XMathReader-sun.tar.Z for Suns. Note that this copy may not be as recent as the previous reference however.

  Note: Monica Davis (

  monica@wri.com
  ), of Wolfram Research Marketing, has indicated that the UNIX non-SUN versions of XMathReader will not be available until Spring of 1995 when new features are added to MathReader and it is rebuilt for all platforms. We do not recommend embedding .ma resources into documents until that point.
  
  
  

  To install XMathReader:

  1. Put MathReader onto your local machine. If your browser prompts you for a filename, use XMathReader.tar.Z.
  2. Verify that this file was uncompressed. (This was probably done automatically by your Web browser.) If this file was not uncompressed, you can do so with this command:

     % uncompress XMathReader.tar.Z

  3. un-tar the file that was transferred, with the command:

     % tar -xvf XMathReader.tar

     This will create a directory called XMathReader.
  4. Change directory to the XMathReader directory and run the script xfe.install.

     cd XMathReader

     ./xfe.install

     This will install MathReader onto your computer.
  5. By default, xfe.install will call the viewer mathematica, we suggest renaming it to XMathReader so as to avoid conflicts with Mathematica. Note that if you already have access to Mathematica you should use that as your viewer.
  
  

• PCs:

  To set up the Mathematica viewer, enter the following into the HelperApplication or ExternalViewer dialog box in your Web Browser:
  
  

  MIME type / subtype	application/mathematica
  extensions	ma
  application	mathread

  where mathread is an Mathematica Notebook viewer. You may quickly get a copy of MathRdr.exe for Windows. Note that this copy may not be as recent as the previous reference however.
  
  

  To install mathread:

  1. run MATHRDR.EXE with the -d flag in the directory where you want MathReader to be:

     MATHRDR -d

     This will create a subdirectory called MATHREAD, that contains all the files necessary to run MathReader.
     
     

  2. Move the file MATHREAD.INI, located in the MATHREAD directory, to your Windows directory.
     
     
  3. Open the notebook READ1ST.MA, also located in the MATHREAD directory, with MathReader. This notebook provides instructions on using MathReader.
     
     
  4. Note that if you already have access to Mathematica you should use that as your viewer.
     
  
  
  

• Mac:

  
  
  

  To set up the Mathematica viewer, enter the following into the HelperApplication or ExternalViewer dialog box in your Web Browser:
  
  

  MIME type / subtype	application/mathematica
  extensions	ma
  application	MathReader

  
  

  Note that if you already have access to Mathematica you should use that as your viewer.
  

  MathReader is a Mathematica Notebook viewer. You may quickly get a copy of MathReader2.2.sea.hqx for MacIntoshes. Note that this copy may not be as recent as the previous reference however.

Additional converters are available from Ed Donley called VRMLConvert.m. Information and examples are also available.
