Hi,
I forgot to bring this up at release-team today. On 64 bit machines,
Applications -> MIT Software -> Maple fails to launch Maple because the
launch command is set to "maple" which doesn't work on 64 bit machines
(it invokes an older, Motif-based GUI). Changing it to "maple.java"
should work (this invokes the newer Java-based GUI)- and that also works
on 32 bit machines.
Alex
