RE: [Aimmath-developers] AIM and Maple 9 not good news

Hi all,

I just made Greg's suggested changes to my local copy:

The only thing that needs to be added to this is:

6. Change the line:

    LaTeX::string,

to

   `aim/LaTeX`::string,

in aim/LaTeX.mpl.  I also changed the name of the LaTeX package to
"aim/LaTeX" at the top of the same file.  It seems to be working fine now.
Thanks Greg!

Another fine point here is that any question files that use the LaTeX()
command also have to be updated if you want them to work under Maple 9.
