Dear MathGroup and WRI, I am interesting in knowing more precisely what can be done with MathReader. I suspect that it doesn't do what I really want but the documentation is a bit vague. This is what I would like MathReader to do: 1) The MathReader user should be able to open a Mathematica notebook with all output and graphics deleted and then evaluate the notebook and generate the graphics and animation. 2) The MathReader user should be able to install third party packages and applications, which could be utilized by the notebooks he reads. 3) But the MathReader user could not edit or change any notebook. He could not type in his own statements. He would be strictly limited to evaluating notebooks created by full Mathematica owners. If MathReader cannot evaluate a notebook, then all the graphics, animation and traditional form output must be embedded and this means that for all practical purposes the notebooks are too large for routine transmission. In that case MathReader can only be used for trivial purposes. David Park djmp at earthlink.net http://home.earthlink.net/~djmp/
