This archive contains the C source code for Mathomatic, the automatic
algebraic manipulator.  It should compile and run correctly under Unix,
Linux, or Mac OS-X, without any modifications.

To compile, just type "make" at a shell prompt.  This will compile the C
source code to create the executable file named "mathomatic".  To run
Mathomatic, type "./mathomatic" at the shell prompt.

To test most functionality, type "make test".  To install, type "su root",
then "make install".

To add "readline" editing and history of all Mathomatic input, type "make
clean" then "make READLINE=1".

A typical installation is done by typing the following at the shell prompt:

	make READLINE=1
	make test
	su
	make install

This will install the executable, man page, and documentation in the proper
directories in "/usr/local".

Mathomatic is self-testing and strictly follows the rules of algebra.
