    Waterloo Maple have verified an issue with Maple 7 under the UNIX platform. This issue will manifest itself as difficulties in installation. It affects only the UNIX platforms (excluding Compaq Tru64 and Linux which has not shown any problems). You will need to download and run a new INSTALL script from the Downloads section. Alternatively, the files can be read through a CD-Rom drive mounted on Linux, Windows or Compaq Tru64.
