Maple works as an X Window graphical application or as a remote line-oriented application. Maple is available from all Sun workstations. No special action is required on your part.
Maple operates best under a windowing system.
X is recommended. This means that you should log into a Sun console, if possible, or run Maple on some other X server. A new application window will appear on your X Windows screen. It is also possible to run Maple from a terminal or modem. Finally, for very long computations, you can run Maple in batch mode, whereby the computation is based on an input file and written to an output file.
