Product Description: Mathplot v3.4 <ASP> -- Mathematical function
plotting program. Enter math functions using
ordinary algebraic notation and see them
plotted on the screen or LaserJet printer.
Mathplot can handle cartesian, polar, and
parametric functions. Up to four functions
can be displayed at once. Many built-in

===== Information for Users ("READ-ME") ================
Mathplot is a mathematical function plotting system which allows you to
enter functions using ordinary algebraic notation and immediately plot
them. Cartesian, polar, and parametric functions are supported, and up
to four functions may be displayed simultaneously. A variety of built-in
functions are provided. Plotting commands may be executed from command
files. Mathplot is an ideal tool for engineers, scientists, math and
science teachers, and anyone else who needs to quickly visualize
mathematical functions.
Mathplot is a "shareware" product. You are welcome to make copies of
this program and pass them on to friends or post this program on
bulletin boards (in its original, unmodified form).
As a shareware product, you are granted a no-cost, trial period of 30
days during which you may evaluate Mathplot. If you find Mathplot to be
useful, educational, and/or entertaining, and continue to use it beyond
the 30 day trial period, you are required to compensate the author by
sending the registration form in REGISTER.DOC with the appropriate
registration fee to help cover the development and support of Mathplot.
In return for registering, you will be authorized to continue using
Mathplot beyond the trial period and you will receive the most recent
version of the program, a laser-printed, bound manual, and three months
of support via telephone, mail, or CompuServe. Your registration fee
will be refunded if you encounter a serious bug that cannot be
corrected.
Mathplot requires 512KB of memory and a CGA, EGA, or VGA display. An
80x87 numeric coprocessor greatly improves its execution speed, but is
not required. Mathplot has been successfully run on dozens of computer
types ranging from 8088's and laptops to 486's.
The Mathplot system consists of the following files:
MATHPLOT.EXE -- The executable program.
MATHPLOT.FON -- Font file used for title line and axis labels.
MATHPLOT.LJF -- Fonts for HP LaserJet printer.
MATHPLOT.FUN -- Example functions
MATHPLOT.DOC -- Documentation file.
REGISTER.DOC -- Software registration form. Please register your use.
===== Packing List =====================================
As released by the author or publisher, this package contained the

===== Installation =====================================
To install Mathplot, copy the files into the directory of your choice. If
the MATHPLOT.HLP and MATHPLOT.FON files are not in your current directory
,
you must place a command of the following form in your AUTOEXEC.BAT file
to
tell Mathplot where to look for its help and font files:
SET MATHPLOT=directory
Where "directory" is the name of the device and directory where the files
are located. For example, if the files are located in a directory named
MATHPLOT on the C disk, the following command could be used:
SET MATHPLOT=C:\MATHPLOT
Start Mathplot by typing the DOS command:
MATHPLOT
Press Enter after you have finished reading the title screen. The F5 key
executes built-in example plots. Each time you press F5, a different
example is displayed. I suggest you use this feature to display a few pl
ots
in order to get a feeling for how Mathplot works and what types of comman
ds
are used to produce plots. Press any key to continue with execution after
you finish looking at a plot.
Press F3 to call up the help menu.

===== License for Use and Distribution =================
There are two versions of the Mathplot program: shareware and
registered. You are welcome to make copies of the shareware version of
Mathplot and pass them on to friends or post this program on bulletin
boards or distribute it via disk catalog services, CD ROMS, or other
means provided the entire Nonlin distribution is included in its
original, unmodified form. A distribution fee may be charged for the
cost of the diskette, shipping and handling. Vendors are encouraged to
contact the author to get the most recent version of Nonlin.
As a shareware product, you are granted a no-cost, trial period of 30
days during which you may evaluate Mathplot. If you find Mathplot to be
useful, educational, and/or entertaining, and continue to use it beyond
the 30 day trial period, you are required to compensate the author by
sending the registration form printed in REGISTER.DOC with the
appropriate registration fee to help cover the development and support

In return for registering, you will be authorized to continue using
Mathplot beyond the trial period and you will receive the registered
version of the program, a bound, typeset manual, and three months of
support via telephone, mail, or e-mail. Your registration fee will be
