| Hi
for those interested in MathPack/V (like myself) here is Phil's answer
to my question (about the relationship of the MathPack/V version at
http://minnow.cc.gatech.edu/squeak/1964 and the original work he did):
> There were orginally two pakages that I wrote. There were MathPack/V
> and GraphPack/V. The original packages were written for Digitalk's
> Smalltalk/V. I signed a marketing agreement with Knowledge Systems
> Corporation (KSC). They would sell the products and give me a
> royalty. The agreement eventually expired. Therefore, the original
> versions are no longer available.
> The version of MathPack on the wiki is complete and better than the
> orginal MathPack/V.
> I never converted GraphPack for a variety of reasons. GraphPack was a
> graphing package that allowed you to draw all types of graphs (bar,
> line, pie charts, double axis, etc). I have no plans for reviving
> GraphPack.
I hope this answers any queations that others might have had concerning
MathPack/V.
Thanks to Phil for kindly taking the time and answering...
Mike
