Subject: Maple 9 for Mac OSX : a shame !
I have just installed Maple 9 on my PowerBook G4 (667 Mhz, 1Go, Mac
OSX 10.2.6).
In the use, I meet the following crippling problems :

1) The recovery of my former files (Maple 7) is practically impossible
:
- All the accented letters (text input) disappeared,
- Fonts are not recognized,
- Various used styles are not recognized,
- The management of left single quotes (standard math) is erratic
(they disappear when recording).

2) Printing is catastrophic :
- Setting parameters are ineffective ("scale" in particular),
- The space between the printed lines is much bigger than that
appearing to the screen,
- characters in italic (standard math) are printed straight ahead,
- "Print preview" is of an unacceptable quality.

3) Miscellaneous
- A double-click on a .mw file opens Maple 9 with a blank page, but
not the concerned file.
- An excessive slowness when opening Maple 9 or a .mw file.

To summarize :
On Macintosh OSX platforms, Maple 9 is unusable in the current
release.
Former files are irretrievable (text input and standard math).
Paper publishing is unusable.
Maplesoft is fucking around with Macintosh users.

The version 9.0.1 does not bring any improvement.
In this company, has anybody checked Maple 9 on MacOSX platform ?
Probably never, and this is a shame.

On the other hand, I know that there is several persons in this
company to cash my check !
