That book came packaged with the very first Maple version I purchased Maple Vr3.  Great to see Maplesoft's pro-active environmental move.  I could tie in one point here, and that is if versions were released once every 2 years that would have also cut down on new printed manuals.

Personally I like printed manuals, seeing now that those versions will be discontinued will there be discounted prices on older printed manual versions? 

Thanks for the answers, much appreciated.

I suppose that could do. Not to bring our options to an end.

Regarding pulling the data out of the graph for a generalization, I suppose you would mean using indets and op, so something like this if

a:= Statistics:-BubblePlot([4, 5, 2, 3], [1, 2, 7, 8], [8, 1, 3, 2],view=[default,0..9]):

myrange:=op(indets(a, specfunc(anything, VIEW)))

myx:=op(myrange)[1]
myy:=op(myrange)[2]

I don't know if mass concentration is the answer.  I'm sure Maplesim has distributive mass ???  I would just like to know if maplesim is modelling it correctly.

It will run on Windows XP in compatability mode.

Actually there is a copy of MapleV r 4 on the web somewhere.  I came across it last week.  Can't find it now though.

It would be advantageous to point here where some example data is located.

I need to assign after I read it in.

better example

test.txt file contains (b, Einstein once said "Everyone is  genius", in a famous quote.)

a:=readline("c:/test.txt")
                            a:=" (b, Einstein once said "Everyone is  genius", in a famous quote.)"

The reason to use parse is so that I can use assign but the extra quotes foil the attempt.
