Installing MapleV
*****************

   The following describes how to install MapleV into GNU Emacs.

Compiling
=========

   Move the file `maplev.el' into your Emacs
load path and byte compile it as shown below:

     M-x byte-compile-file <RET> maplev.el <RET>

   Add the following line to your `.emacs' file:

     (autoload 'maplev-mode "maplev" "Maple editing mode" t)

   To have Emacs automagically start in MapleV mode when editing Maple
source, add the following to your `.emacs' file, modifying the regex
`.mpl' to an extension appropriate for your usage:

     (setq auto-mode-alist
           (cons `("\\.mpl\\'" . maplev-mode) auto-mode-alist))

Customizing
===========

   You must customize some of MapleV's default settings to be
appropriate for your installation.  Most significantly, you must
specify the locations of the executable files for mint and the command
line version of Maple.  You can specify multiple versions of mint and
Maple.  The easiest method is to invoke `customize' using the following
commands:

     M-x load-library <RET> maplev <RET>
     M-x customize-group <RET> maplev <RET>

   The important options are in the subgroup `maplev-important'.  After
setting these options, save them to your `.emacs' file by clicking on
the `Save for Future Sessions' button.

`Info' documentation
====================

   To create the Info documentation for MapleV convert the TeXinfo file
`maplev.texi' to an Info file.  You may use either the stand-alone
utility `makeinfo' or, from inside Emacs, the command `makeinfo-buffer'.

   Move the output file `maplev' to a directory in the Info load path
and then edit the `dir' file, that is, the top level node of your Emacs
Info structure, to point to `maplev'.  I added the following menu item
to my `dir' file:

     * MapleV: (maplev).       MapleV reference manual.
