/ ranting on I use Win XP home on an Acer, which has an Athlon (do not care for specifica). It installs with a blank space in the directory name as default (which may cause troubles if using Open Maple with MS compilers). Installing Watcom not even gives a warning to prior installed ones (so I hope it does not matter ... say having some modifications in it [well, a backup is never a bad idea before any install ...]). It does not adapt settings from M10 (I think 9.5 -> 10 did so), i.e. global settings and style sheet had to be done again. And: it does not associate M11 to *.mws (classical sheets are my default). So one has to use the operating system to associate? However the names for cwmaple are both the same, hence it does not simply work to say the OS it should use the new release (one has to watch which *icon* is selected afterwards, use the one with '11' and activate the checkbox to tell the OS it should allways use that). The worksheet File Association Selector (this hint can be found in the 'readme.txt' on the install CD) does not work for me (and the text there is not correct: by default the program is started which told to the OS). / ranting off Beyond that it seems to work fine with the 'old' stuff.
