I remember reading reports in this forum of users who are running Steve
Wolfram's Mathematica system on their DN-10000.  Does anyone know of
any version of Mathematica that runs on a 3000 or 3500? Any information
and/or contacts would be greatly appreciated.

Wolfram Research Inc. (makers of Mathematica) tells me that a 3000 etc.
version exists, marketed directly through Apollo. Our local Apollo
sales rep has been of no help.

We have a 4 processor DSP10000 and would absolutely LOVE to have Mathematica
on it!!! We currently are using it on a Mac IIx and having the kernel run
on the 10000 sounds tooo good to be true.

Who is using it and where can I get it ?????

thanx,

  A license to use Mathematica came with our two new Apollo stations
 that were recently purchased.  We were misinformed on the details of
 the bundled software and were quite shocked to discover that we had
 to purchase software.

 Someone at Apollo suggested that I get the tapes from someone else.
 We have manuals and installation instructions, but no software.

  Would someone be willing to loan their copy of the software to me
 so that I may install in on my machines?

  Thanks,

The media and documentation for Mathematica runs on the order
of $140 for educational institutions which have purchased a
new Motorola based CPU. This compares favorably to ,say, the
cost of a ringnet adaptor cable or a floor stand for a
DN3xxx/4xxx. If you can't really afford the cost, send me
an account to which I can FTP the files. You will have to
get the passwords to enable your machines from Wolfram, of course.
