I have installed Maple 5.1 on Athena for SGI, Sun and Linux/NetBSD.
To run it now, do:

        add maple
        maple -ver 5.1

at the Athena prompt. This is a relatively minor upgrade. The major new 
features include an integrated spreadsheet and an "Open URL" feature 
that allows opening Web pages and Maple worksheets served as http URLs 
by Web server.

For details on new features see http://www.maplesoft.com/r5_1_new.html,
as well as online Help -> What's new -> updates/R5/R51.

There are some problems with this release. Please see the end of file
/mit/maple_v5.1/README.athena for details on this and Web browser
configuration information.
 
This version will not be made the Athena default until at least 
Summer 1999.

Please send questions/comments to 3partysw@mit.edu. 

                                         Alex
