Tutorial: Setting Up

System Requirements

The requirements that we list here for Mathwright32 Author also apply, of course, for the Mathwright32 Reader, and for MathwrightWeb. For Mathwright Author, the system (together with online help files) will require approximately 8.4 Megabytes of hard disk space. For MathwrightWeb or Mathwright Player,, approximately 4 Megabytes is needed. Mathwright32 is designed to operate in Windows 95/98/Me and equally in Windows 2000/XP. For best performance, we recommend that you have at least 64 Megabytes of RAM installed.

Mathwright32 was designed for 16 Million color (640x480, 800x600, or 1024x768) resolution displays, but will utilize 256 colors. The appearance of the Microworlds in Mathwright32 will be the same in all these resolutions, but the screen resolution should be 800x600 or 1024x768. The Documents that you create may be displayed on reader machines or browsers in any resolution. You have no control over that. But if you create them in 800x600 or 1024x768 resolution, then they will display properly in 640x480, 800x600, or 1024x768 resolutions in the reader's machine or browser. This is especially important because, in the browsers, you may shrink or enlarge the page as you like to fit your web page. Along these lines, we remind you that if you use wallpaper bitmaps (and hotspots) then you may use either bitmaps, GIFs, or JPGs. And these should be 800x600, or 1024x768 pixels to match your screen resolution.They may be any size, but only the wallpaper for Graph2Ds can be positioned in the window. Page wallpaper is placed in the upper left corner.

When you installed Mathwright32 Author on your computer, it was placed in the directory: Program Files/Bluejay Lispware/Mathwright32 Author (unless you selected a different directory). Below that directory is a directory called Lisp which contains a number of LISP programs that are described in the Lisper LISP Help. Mathwright32 Author and Mathwright32 Reader both have LISP Listeners (programming environments) available from the Objects Menu. The LISP online Help explains how to write and save your LISP programs in case you would like to experiment with that language. This faculty is also available in Mathwright32.

You may uninstall Mathwright32 in the usual way with the Control Panel uninstall applet.
