Maple 9.03 : Are they stupid ?

[Jacques M. TORRE]

It is despairing to notice that all the dysfunctions (text editing
using standard math notation and printing files) of Maple 9, already
indicated to Maplesoft, are still present in the fourth version 9.03
(!!!) :

- The management of left single quotes (standard math) is erratic
(they disappear when recording),
- Special characters (like "option + v") are not recognized in
standard math notation,
- Setting parameters (printing) 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.

It does not seem to be corrections very important to bring, but
nevertheless ...
Maplesoft acts with his customers as if they were a package of shit.

At the moment I am obliged to continue to work with Maple.
But I am going gradually to transfer my work towards another software.

With regrets, and because of a morons' team which do not know how to
program in Java.
