The ACE 3.0 known bugs

This page contains some informations about the known bugs of the 3.0 release of ACE. You can correct the bugs on your machine by re-compiling the given Maple files. This should be done by the user who installed ACE on your computer: it is generally the root on a Unix machine or simply yourself on your favorite PC.

Correct all known bugs

If you want to correct all known bugs in one step, copy the file containing the corrected functions (according to your system, for Maple V release 1, 2 or 3, or for Maple V release 4 or 5) and name it ACEdebug on your system and then enter the Maple command: read ACEdebug; in the directory where you have copied the file. This is the same as correcting all known bugs individually, as described below.

Correct each known bug one by one

Here is the list of known bugs:

Copy this file (according to your system) as Bdr2Part and then enter the Maple command: read Bdr2Part; in the directory where you have copied the file. And now: ACE> Border2Part([0,1,0,1,0,0,1,1,0,0,1]); [6, 4, 4, 2, 1]
File FreeCore ACE> FreeNormal(1/q); op(i, 1/q) w[] Get the corrected file for Maple V release 1, 2 or 3, or the corrected file for Maple V release 4 or 5.
