Re: [mathcad] symbolic calculation question
Author: Frank Doyle    Posted: Tue, 23 Jun 2009 11:32:18 -0500
Hi Tom,

I have MCAD13.1 installed.
(Also have the 5 1/4 inch floppy) and several upgrades in-between.

I remember reading this message, however, I do not recall asking / having a
question about it.

Sorry if I hit the "wrong" icon.

Frank
