Where can I find more information on this LinuxThreads deal?
Also, I'd like to add, it is really sad in the sense of
backwards-compatibility when I'm having more luck running the Windows
version of Maple 7 under Wine than I am having trying to get it to work
in Fedora. I can't get the graphs to display using Wine, but at least it
does operations well enough.
