This update replaces Mathematica's local protocol, and allows Mathematica to run on a Windows 95 system without the installation of TCP, which was previously necessary. The update can be obtained from MathSource. The MathSource item number is 0207-841. If you are deleting and reinstalling Mathematica you will probably also need to delete the MATHLINK.INI file, which will most likely be in C:|OS|WIN95 under Windows 95 or in the main Windows directory under Windows 3.x. MathSource is accessible by email (mathsource at wri.com), by anonymous ftp/gopher (mathsource.wri.com) and by World Wide Web (http://www.wri.com/MathSource.html). If you need further help with this I would suggest that you contact Wolfram Research Technical Support (support at wri.com, or support-europe at wri.com in Europe) directly. I hope this helps. --Ian ----------------------------------------------------------- Ian Collier Technical Sales Support Wolfram Research, Inc. ----------------------------------------------------------- tel:(217)-398-0700 fax:(217)-398-0747 ianc at wri.com Wolfram Research Home Page: http://www.wri.com/ -----------------------------------------------------------
