I recently loaded SPP 2.9.5 (by Brian Evans and James McClellan, Georgia Tech) from Mathsource onto a PC running Mathematica 3.0.1 under WIN95. It does not run correctly -- even the examples -- often complaining that it can't find something, or treating SPP-defined functions as undefined -- that is just echoing the input in the output. I installed the package under "AddOns\Applications" as called for in MMA 3.0.1. I have been able to make the error messages go away in several cases by restoring DOS-truncated file names to their long versions, so I'm pretty sure that is the problem: that Win95 no longer considers the long names equvalent to the truncated versions. Does anyone have experience with this, or know where I can get a download version with full-length file names? Or is this really the problem? Or is there something else wrong? ) I'd be grateful for any help on this. Thanks, (Through some short-circuit in cyberspace, this article was misposted previously as being from another user.)
