This archive contains the C source code for Mathomatic, the automatic
algebraic manipulator.  It should compile and run correctly under Unix or
Linux.  These are DOS text files, so you will have to strip carriage returns
from them.  To do this, make sure you unzip with the -a option.  If the
filenames turn out to be uppercase, use the -L option, too.

To compile, just type "make" under Unix or Linux.  This will compile the C
source code to create the executable file named "ac".  To run Mathomatic,
type "./ac" at the shell prompt.

To add "readline" editing and history of all Mathomatic input, edit the file
"makefile" and change the comments and re-compile.

Mathomatic is self-testing and strictly follows the rules of algebra.

  The file "changes.txt" is the version history of Mathomatic.
  The file "source.txt" describes the compile time defines.
  The file "am.1" is a short Unix man page for Mathomatic.
  The file "manual.htm" is the HTML Mathomatic User's Manual.
  The file "am.htm" is the HTML Mathomatic Command Reference.

The files "*.in" are input files for Mathomatic that can be read in, once you
compile Mathomatic.  Read in "all.in" to test Mathomatic.  For help, try the
"help" command.
