26 : Correction of Maxima Version and "Unpacked" DERDEI Code

- also @Jose Luu : /g/nanovna-users/message/3278 -

Hello,

Allow us, please, to inform you that, as we already promised at:

21 : The Mathematica Code and the Unpacked DERDEI Code :
/g/nanovna-users/message/3290

we just uploaded the new, "unpacked" version of DERDEI at:


Also allow us, please, to inform, facupov, the interested
Common User that in order to avoid unnecessary
complications, he has to take into account the following:

From: Gunter K?nigsmann <gunter@pe...> - 2016-06-14 06:44:35


the version 5.38.1 of [maxima] requires a bunch of hard to
follow instructions for installation under wxpp32 or wxpp64.

Therefore, we * e r r o n e o u s l y * suggested, what we had
avoid to say, about this installation at:

2 : yza, Sep 21, 2019 : /g/nanovna-users/message/2802

and thus he should install the last * f u l l y * working 32-bit version
5.36.1 of [maxima] with [sbcl]:


We are terribly sorry for the inconvenience.

Please accept our apologies.

(0.b/b) Note: He may need to also do the following:

|Start|Settings|Control Panel|System|Advanced|Performance|Data
Execution Prevention|(o) Turn on DEP for all programs and
services except those I select:|Add|{X:\}{wxpp32}Program Files\
or{wxpp64}Program Files (x86)\Maxima-sbcl-5.36.1\bin\sbcl.exe|
|Open|

(1) He should unzip [DERDEI20191001.7z] to the default
folder with name: [DERDEI20191001], in the root folder of a drive,
which, if it is different than of our [K:], lets say [X:], then he has
to edit [DERDEI-unpacked_20191001-600-1000.MC] and
in the multi-lines beginning with /*10*/ up to /*15/ to replace
every occurrence of K: by X:

(2) He should skip | ignore any instructions given in the
Documentation:


regarding the file: [functions.txt], because all the contents of this file
are now embedded into: [DERDEI-unpacked_20191001-600-1000.MC]
at the aforementioned lines, and thus he should also ignore
completely the file: [useless-MC-embedded-functions.txt],
which was included into [DERDEI20191001.7z] just for the shake
of completeness

(3) He may execute sequentially, the 15 multi-line commands by
Copy-Paste into [XMAxima] and Enter them one-by-one

(4) He may omit the just informative multi-line commands
beginning with: /*2*/, /*4*/, /*6*/, and /*8*/

(5) If he likes, then in just three 3 steps he can: (I) copy
the whole content of [DERDEI-unpacked_20191001-600-1000.MC],
then: (II) paste them to [maxima], and finally: (III) run it fully.

(6) He may want to change the way in which the six 6 graphics
windows are presented by [gnuplot] and to select between the
"cascading" way, in which each window has to be closed, in order
to appear the next one, or the simultaneous one, by following
the instructions provided by the [Maxima 5.36.0 Manual: 12.
Plotting][12.3 Functions and Variables for Plotting][System
variable: gnuplot_view_args]:

"In Windows versions of Gnuplot older than 4.6.3 the behavior of
"~s -" and "-persist ~s" were the opposite; namely, "-persist
~s" made the plot window and the gnuplot interactive shell
remain, while "~s -" closed the gnuplot shell keeping the plot
window. Therefore, when older gnuplot versions are used in
Windows, it might be necessary to adjust the value of
gnuplot_view_args."

(7) If he is indeed a [mathematica] user, then it is up to him to
transfer -more-or-less "easily"- the graphics commands in the
remaining just four 4 [maxima] multi-line commands beginning
with: /*3*/, /*5*/, /*7*/, and /*9*/, to [mathematica], because:


"Macsyma" [maxima] "was revolutionary in its day, and many later
systems, such as Maple and Mathematica, were inspired by it"
-
at least, if not much more, more than that...

Sincerely,

gin&pez@arg
