Hi Alec,

the toolbox is a connector or bridge product. The NAG C library is available separately; see www.nag.com/numeric/cl/CLdescription.asp.

Of course, the documentation of the connector also covers those NAG routines that are shipped with Maple, as they form a subset of the full NAG library. Usually one can see their names (in NAG convention) when using things like infolevel[LinearAlgebra] etc. But without the library, you cannot do much more with the connector. ;-)

By the way, if you want to keep such code portable across platforms, it's helpful to replace the fixed (static) path to your directory with cat(kernelopts(homedir),"/Data"). This feature was introduced in Maple 9.5.

I couldn't have said it any better (was just starting my own reply when I saw yours); just a minor correction:

kernelopts(verboseproc=3) should be interface(verboseproc=3).

Maple 11 introduced the ExcelTools package which offers Import and Export for xls files. Note that this package is available only in Standard Worksheet. The Data Import Assistant now also supports this format.

Well, it's a documented assumption. The ?diff help page says (towards the end of the Description section):

The diff command assumes that partial derivatives commute.

Today, this phenomenon was reported to us by a Mandriva 2008 user, too. And we recently got a phone call from a Ubuntu 7.10 user who found a solution that works at least for him: he replaced Maple's jre.IBM_INTEL_LINUX with the latest Sun JRE version which is available from here. Please note that all these distributions are too new to be officially supported.
The java folder contains stuff written in Java, mostly by Maplesoft. The JRE (Java Runtime Environment) itself is in the jre folder.
Macsyma 2.4 (the last version) returns integrate(exp(asin(x)),x) unevaluated, so even if it had the complete Risch algorithm implemented, it apparently didn't make use of it. Anyways, that's no excuse for Maple which should return 1/2*exp(arcsin(x))*(x+sqrt(1-x^2)) (or something equivalent) without hints.
Official platform or not, Vista is a Windows version, so software designed for Windows should be able to install. If not, the installer is b0rken.
No. Guess why there is the XP SP2 compatibility mode mentioned by others. Remember, even when SP2 appeared for XP, lots of applications stopped working. In my experience, every major new release of an OS (be it Windows or Linux) breaks compatibility with some applications. That's why the distinction between officially supported platforms and others is correct. In case of unsupported ones, you are basically on your own.
