Good news !!!! I was concerned about the posting which claimed
that MAPLE V wouldn't be supporting a math coprocessor for the
Amiga, so I wrote a note to Joyce Brennan expressing my concern.
Here is her reply.

My mistake. I had no idea that my response was going to be re-posted
to a newsgroup, and I obviously should have checked with the
programmer responsible for this port before responding.
In the meantime I have learned that Maple V for the Amiga will in fact
support the 68881 math coprocessor. My apologies for the incorrect
response.
I would really appreciate if you would arrange to post this
correction.
Thanks for your assistance, and once again my humble apologies.

We have a programmer who is currently working on porting Maple V, our
newest software release, to the Amiga. This version of Maple features
3-D graphics and several other user interface enhancements. Maple V
is expected to be released on the Amiga platform in the first quarter
of 1991.
Here is the latest report from our technical department:
The kernel of Maple is finished. The projected user interface would
be very similar to the X Maple. In fact, our idea is to copy the X
Maple features into the Amiga machine. This will be finalized
once I receive and read through all the manuals.
Maple V for the Amiga will also support the 68881 math coprocessor.
For the graphics part, we will have both POSTSCRIPT and the IFF format.
