Installation of the genus2unif Maple package under Linux.

First untar, in the directory you will be working in, the 
file genus2unif.tgz with
 
  tar xfz genus2unif.tgz 

You should have 4 files 

  Install (a version of this file)  

  genus2unif.mp
 
  genus2unifdoc.mws 

  g2unif

To use, open, in the working directory, Maple8 or Maple9 in the 
"classical worksheet" version (accessed with maple -cw) and write 

  read "genus2unif.mp";

You will be then able to access the functions described in 
genus2unifdoc.mws (that you should probably open first).

If you have gcc, lapack and g2c on your system you will probably 
want to recompile the g2unif file. This can be done by importing
the file g2unifsource.tgz. After untaring this file you can then 
compile the c executable with 

  make -f Makefile.g2unif

The result will be a much smaller g2unif file.

For Maple 9 in the "standard worksheet" configuration you may have
to replace the line

  ssystem( `/bin/sh g2unifrun > g2unifin`);

(in the function G2unifcoeffast of the file genus2unif.mp) by the
following 5

  fd:=fopen(g2uexec,WRITE);
  fprintf(fd,"#!/bin/sh \n ./g2unifrun >g2unifin");
  fclose(fd);  
  ssystem(`chmod +x g2unifrun`):
  ssystem(`/bin/sh g2uexec `):

This should work.

With Maple6 or Maple7 under Linux, G2unifcoeff and F4unifcoeff will 
not work, the rest however should work, in particular G2unifcoeffast 
should work although this has not been thoroughly tested. They could 
even work with Maple5 (but a few changes to the file must be made in 
this case: calls to LinearAlgebra should be replaced by their 
equivalent in linalg).

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
Under Windows 

Uncompress the file genus2unif.tgz with winzip or powerarchiver

You will get 4 files

The file genus2unifdoc.mws should be put in your working directory.

You will not be able to use g2unif and the function 
G2unifcoeffast. So you can delete the file g2unif. 

It is not clear where the genus2unif.mp should be. For 
Maple8 a good choice seems to be in \Program Files\Maple 8\ if that is
where your version of Maple8 is. For Maple9 \Program Files\Maple 9 may 
also work but you may then have to access the file by typing

  read "c:\\Program Files\\Maple 9\\genus2unif.mp";

On some machines with Windows XP and Maple 9 the execution may take
very long even if Digits is only set to 10 (with a 1Ghz machine 
G2unifcoeff should not take more than 20sec and in fact much less). 
If things are largely improved by setting Digits to 9, then you should 
uncomment two lines in the file genus2unif.mp (see that file).
