I downloaded the collection from the web site to my Mac iBook running OS 9.2, Mathematica 4.1 (I had actually bought the Wickham-Jones book some time ago, but it includes a floppy disk and my Mac doesn't); copied the ExtendGraphics folder to the AddOns:Applications: folder in the Mathematica folder; and ran the two suggested tests. First test (circle and triangle) ran fine; second test (MandelBrot) didn't -- error messages about MathLink. MathLink seems to be a complex subject. Am I supposed to just put the ExtendGraphics ".tm" files somewhere? (There only seem to be about 14 .tm files total on my HD, 8 of them associated with ExtendGraphics, the 6 others in a ""MathLink:Develope Kit:Macintosh:MathLink Examples" chain, and I'm not sure any of them are active.) Or . . . ??? Thanks.
