If you own Mathcad 2000, you have the CD. If you can use Mathcad 15 for 3 months
you don't have the CD, just a downloaded version. If you install 15, you may not be
ble to re-install 2000. If I would be you, I would purchase a new PC to run 15.
The warflame started between PTC and myself at PTC Mathcad 14 [no more a Mathsoft
product anymore], my Mathcad work sheets 11.2a crashed PTC at their head office,
or could not read.

Hello Jean,
I’ve been swamped with other responsibilities, but am finally working on posting files to the online Mathcad Resource Center. Unfortunately, this file crashed my Mathcad 11 when I tried to open it twice, so I was unable to even view it in Mathcad 11. I am able to view it in Mathcad 14, and 90% of it works in Mathcad 14.
Some of the input files are missing.
I suggest you break it up into smaller files for posting in the Mathcad Resource Center, covering smaller topics. Some of the topics need more explanation as well, so it is clearer for other users, what you are doing.
I’ll be glad to post the shorter topics with some description when you resubmit them.
Thanks so much,
Mona

It would be wise working wisely. Plug your backup 2000 work sheets in 15. Read each one,
one by one top to bottom if they all go. If that step is successful, try a typical Mathcad work sheet that has cspline and from all the guidance you may have in this forum, read back in Smath ... it won't work. Smath cspline is a local interpolation, Mathcad is a scalar algorithm . Smath is not going to implement the missing code. From that same Mathcad work sheet, take the derivative of the cspline : it works, but not in Smath. Smath drivative is stricly "symbolic", it is not a numerical scalar derivative algorithm. Smath is not going to invent the missing code.
Next, Mathcad 15 is symbolic MuPad, Smath is Maple.
If you think Smath can reverse Engineer Mathcad/Mathsoft 2000 via transit PTC Mathcad 15: answer is surely NO. Make another test: you surely have a Mathcad 2000 work sheet using
"Minerr", Smath won't take. What made Mathcad/Mathsoft so powerful was their coding, protected by their own Patents and Patents of their subcontracts.
You may be condamned doing like I do, recode Mathcad 2000 manually as far as Smath can digest. Me is recoding Mathcad 11.2a ... 11.2a reads all Mathcad 2000 [very few little things in different presentation].
