Maple Share Library: Release 3
==============================

This file tells you where to find everything in the share library.
All of this information is available on-line after executing with(share);
under ?share[xxxxx] where xxxxx is one of the topics below.

Note, when the user executes with(share); in Maple, Maple tries to locate
the share library.  It should be sitting adjacent to the Maple library lib.
If successful, the file ``check'' is the share library is loaded.  If you
read that file, you'll see that the routine ``readshare'' is defined.
This is the main routine for loading routines and packages from the share
library.  You'll also find the various help files for the share library.
The help directory in the share library containts plain text files for
these help files.

contrib		This file (also ?share[contrib]) describes how to
		contribute to the share library, and where and to whom to
		send your contribution.  We ask contributors to fill out
		the form in the file ``agree'' (also ?share[agree]),
		sign it and fax or post it to us.

address		This file (also ?share[address]) contains our address,
		and also the addresses of electronic share library sites.
		We distribute updates to the share library periodically
		via anonymous ftp and electronic mail.

contents	This is the main file (also ?share[contents]) describing
		the contents of the share Library.  The description of
		individual routines, packages and functions is given
		under ?share[<topic>] .  For example the file ``algebra''
		describes all the facilities related to algebra.
		The other files are  autodiff, graphics, numtheor,
		calculus, program, system, combinat, engineer,
		numerics, science, linalg, and stats.

index		This file (also ?share[index]) is an alphabetical listing
		of the names of all the different routines, packages and
		worksheets in the share library, and a cross reference to
