I want to use a package called "ESC" elliptic surface calculator that can be uploaded with Maple.

The instructions from the creator are:

Save as a text file with character encoding ISO-8859-1 (ISO Latin 1) and load within Maple using "read" command).

I have problem with uploading to Maple and saving with this encoding. Can anybody say the exact upload command with details and how to save text with this encoding?

Here is the package page: http://c-faculty.chuo-u.ac.jp/~kuwata/2012-13/Maple_resources/ESC.mpl

I use Windows 8.1 and Maple 18. Thanks!

  • Use several paragraphs instead of writing everything in the same paragraph. Use formatting accordingly. – dukebody Feb 14 '17 at 18:49

On the webpage, just right click on the source code file and then click save as a text file. After that, open maple work sheet and read the file ESC.mpl.txt, like this

restart:
read("C:/tcdata/ESC.mpl.txt") # I have save the file in a folder named `tcdata` in drive C.

Once the file is loaded/read in maple, you can do whatever you are suppose to do. I tried these, to check whether the source code is working or not.

ESC();

enter image description here

elliptic_surface(1,1,1,1,1);

enter image description here

Apparently, the source file has been read and is working properly.

  • @user371596 The same as I already told. In this case you have to read four files in to maple. – zhk Feb 13 '17 at 14:22
