Maplets for Calculus: Configure Macintosh

Configuring Your Browser for Macintosh®

Install Maplet Launcher	Maple 11.01 and above already contains the Maplet Launcher in `/Applications/Maple 11/Maplet Launcher.app` Installing the Maplet Launcher is required for Maple 11.00 and below. Browse to the Setup subfolder in the MapletsForCalculus folder. Double click on Maplet Launcher.app.zip. This will produce the Maplet Launcher. Move the Maplet Launcher to your Applications folder. NOTE: If the maplets will not start after you have configured the browser, try starting the Maplet Launcher before launching a maplet. We would like to thank Yu-Hong Wang at Waterloo Maple Inc for writing the Maplet Launcher for Macintosh and Art Belmonte, Jared Teslow, Mike Crocker and Joel Zinn at Texas A&M University for testing it.
