   Epsilon 0.618 Installation

1. Copy the compressed file epsilon.zip or epsilon.tar.gz to a directory 
   where you want to install Epsilon. 

2. Extract the files from epsilon.zip or epsilon.tar.gz, for example, using 

   > unzip epsilon.zip 

   or 

   > tar xvfz epsilon.tar.gz 

   (under Unix/Linux). You will get a directory named epsilon. 

3. Add the following two lines to your Maple initialization file .mapleinit 
   in your home directory under Unix/Linux or maple.ini in the Maple 8/Lib 
   directory (or the Maple 8/Users directory, or your personal profile 
   directory, or your working directory) under Windows-based systems: 

   epsilon_path := `full_path_of_epsilon`:
   libname := cat(epsilon_path,`/lib`), libname: 

   where full_path_of_epsilon is the full path for the directory epsilon 
   created in step 2 (e.g., epsilon_path := `/usr/local/wang/epsilon`:). 

Now you can start working with Epsilon: invoke maple or xmaple and then try 
with(epsilon); or ?epsilon for on-line help. 

==============================================================================

- You can run a test for each <module> using <module>_test(); in Maple. 
  For instance, you may try charsets_test(); or sisys_test();  Warning 
  messages may be ignored.

- The Java programs for GEOTHER may be compiled, for example, by jdk117_v3,
  jdk1.3.1_02, or j2sdk1.4.0. The included Java classes were produced by 
  jdk117_v3. You may recompile the programs using another Java compiler. 
  To do so, go to the subdirectory geother and modify the path for the
  Java compiler in Makefile, and then recompile the Java programs by doing 

  > make 

  (or gmake) under Unix/Linux.

- You may specify which java to be used to execute the Java classes by
  adding the following line to your Maple initialization file .mapleinit 
  or maple.ini:

  java_path := proc() `your_java_path` end:

  (e.g., java_path := proc() `/usr/local/wang/bin/` end:).
