The Waterloo people promised that I would receive Version 5 free of charge as soon as it became available. My major hesitation in purchasing Maple was the upgrade policy. As I understand it, the single user license provides updates and technical support for a year. After that you have to re-purchase the software. I will probably plan on using Version 5 for some time! Version 4.2 is nice, but is no speed demon on a 25MHz 3000! Be prepared to wait for some functions! I looked at Mathematica (I have an AMAX), but I found Maple easier to use. Good Luck! Gary Walborn
