Hi Gustav, Looking through your instructions I saw the links to: http://aimmath.sourceforge.net/j2re-1_4_2_01-windows-i586.exe etc. Did you happen to download the Linux equivalents as well? Is there a way that I can see what is there? I think it would be good to have a http://aimmath.sourceforge.net/download.html listing these. Are these files actually at the Sourceforge site or are they at York where http://aimmath.sourceforge.net/ redirects to? Regards, Greg |

If that is the case, I'm not sure whether you could call this a bug ... it's a pest sometimes to have to remember to do this, but would an eval in the display routine fix it ...

(One can hard-set it to -u with no problem at all, if one knows all users use Netscape 6+, or can use Netscape 6+ ... basically, the problem is to accommodate the Internet Explorer users at the same time.) That said, I think a very minor tweak of my attempt at dynamically detecting the browser and setting the -u flag in case of Netscape/Mozilla is all that's needed ... I just haven't had the time to figure out why it doesn't work. OTOH, others have suggested that there's a simpler approach. It should be very easy. Regards, Greg |

Manolis and Greg have agreed to write installation instructions for linux and test them. Manolis says he can have them ready by Monday morning. There are still a number of bugs in the system. I have started reporting some new ones to the bug tracker at http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=44411&atid=439479. Please all help in finding and squashing bugs. There is actually still one important unresolved issue: the -u flag for tth. It doesn't matter to us here at York because we will convert the latex to mathml within Moodle. But AiM users who do not want to use Moodle might really appreciate being able to set the -u flag. Without it AiM is not really useable with Netscape. I know that several of you have already put a lot of thought into it. Is the problem close to a resolution? We are now aiming for a beta release on Monday morning. Gustav |

A quick check with Google shows that there are many known problems with javascript support in Safari. So, I propose to ignore this issue.

No one else has volunteered yet. Dear all, Sorry to be slow to respond to this ... yes, I'll do the Linux testing and create the Linux installation instructions. I should get around to this, tomorrow. The installation instructions will hopefully be in place sometime over the weekend. Regards, Greg |

Hi-- After poking around, I realized that I only get this behavior using Apple's Safari browser (v. 1.0, where I get it every single time); things work fine using Explorer (5.2 for mac). I guess that means I need to use Explorer for more reasons than just to get the symbols to display right!

Is that a bug? I have committed a fix. This involves changing the way that `Class/IndexFunction` evaluates its arguments. The new behaviour seems to be the right one, but it may well cause some glitches elsewhere. Neil |

Ken's servlet will be offered as an extra download. Do we need them in this release ? Does everyone agree with tihs solution from an implementation point of view ? I just don't see they way that the MathDisplay parameter would be send from every page (Neil comments ?) and if its reasonable to do so ? I am talking nonsense ? Does anyone use them at the moment ?

The question t>type a vector c>vector a>vector([1,2]) end> compiles alright but when I try it it gives me: Error in MakeInstance: invalid input: aim/TextQuestion/BasicValidation expects its 3rd argument, reqtype_, to be of type type, but received this[MapleType] Does that happen to you as well? Is that a bug? Gustav |
