OpenMaple
OpenMaple is a suite of functions that allows you to access Maple algorithms
and data structures in your compiled C, Java, or Visual Basic programs.

To run your application, Maple 9 or later must be installed. You can distribute
your application to any licensed Maple 9 or later user. For additional terms
