take a look on tutorial "package design" form todd gayley on mathsource. Very efficient guide. Some general notes: 1. You have to follow certain syntax rules. there are commands like beginpackage[], begin[], end[], endpackage[]. 2. As soon as you have written it with mathematica you can save it using save special in package format. Package format implies ".m" or ".ma" endings You don't need any extra editor. 3. Look at native Mathematica packages in Add-on directory. Have fun with packaging, Oleg. > -----Original Message----- > From: poonam_pandey at hotmail.com [SMTP:poonam_pandey at hotmail.com] To: mathgroup at smc.vnet.net > Sent: Monday, February 18, 2002 11:22 AM > To: mathgroup at smc.vnet.net > Subject: [mg32889] creating packages > > I am a first time user of mathematica and currently using version 4.0. > I am trying to create a package.
