Maplesoft Graphing Calculator=============================

The Maplesoft(TM) Graphing Calculator is available as part of yourinstallation (Windows(R) only). It is a convenient calculator interfaceusing Maple technology.

To access the calculator in all supported versions of Windowsother than Windows 8:From the Start menu, select Programs, Maple 17, Maple Calculator.

To access the calculator in Windows 8:Bring up the Start Screen, scroll to the Maple Calculator tile, and thenclick or tap on the Maple Calculator tile.

Changing User Mode or Directory===============================

The binary directory (bin.win) in the Maple 17 directory contains anASCII text file called Maplesys.ini. System administrators can usethis file after installation to change user profile information. Tochange Maple from Single to Multiple User Mode, change the

MultiUserProfile option from 0 to 1. To change the location of theuser directory, specify the new directory in the UserDirectory option.

Command-line Maple================== Command-line Maple provides you with full access to the Maple libraryand kernel, but it uses a character-based interface. Command-lineMaple uses less memory than standard Maple.

Starting: For all supported versions of Windows other than Windows 8,

from the Start menu, select Programs > Maple 17, and then

Command-line Maple. Alternatively, in a Dos Window, change directoryto the bin.win subfolder of your Maple 17 installation. By default this is "C:\Program Files\Maple 17\bin.win". Enter "cmaple" at the prompt.

For Windows 8, bring up the Start Screen, scroll to the Command-lineMaple tile, and then click or tap on the Command-line Maple 17 tile.Alternatively, in a Dos Window, change directory to the bin.winsubfolder of your Maple 17 installation. By default this is"C:\Program Files\Maple 17\bin.win". Enter "cmaple" at the prompt.

Quitting: Enter the command "quit" at a new Maple prompt. If Maple does not exit,

you are probably in the middle of entering a command. Enter a semicolon (;) at the Maple prompt, press the ENTER key, then issue the "quit"

command again.

Command-line versions of Maple accept many options. For a complete list ofavailable options, refer to the Maple help system. Enter ?maple at the prompt.

Standard read and save commands can be used in the Command-line version.For information about these two commands, refer to the help pages ?read and?save.



Note: If the Command-line version of Maple (cmaple) does not appear tostart, start the user interface (worksheet) version to check for messagesregarding startup problems.

Mint====

The Mint application provides a syntax-checking facility for Maplecode files.

Starting: For all supported versions of Windows other than Windows 8,

select Start > Programs > Maple 17 > Tools and then Mint.

For Windows 8, bring up the Start Screen, scroll to the Mint tile,and then click or tap on the Mint tile.

A file browser opens allowing you to select a .mpl file. Once selected,the file is sent to mint for analysis. Alternatively, you can enter"mint filename" in a DOS window.

Quitting:Press 'Ctrl + Z', then 'Enter'. Close any window by clicking the

close window button (X) at the top of the window.

Note: To store the output of Mint in a file, you must use Mint from a DOSsession. For example: To run Mint on a file called mint_in.txt and storethe output in a file called mint_out.txt, issue the following commandfrom a DOS session:

mint mint_in.txt > mint_out.txt

For more information on the workings of Mint, refer to the help pages forMint. Enter the Maple command ?mint at the prompt.
