WebMath: LiveMath

[husch at math.utk.edu]

Hi-

I just downloaded and installed the LiveMath plug-in on my 
WIndows NT 4.0 system in my office.  I use three different 
browsers to check out how my materials appear in all three.  The 
plug-in installation program found the plug-ins directory for each of 
the browsers but it deleted the old mathview plug-in. 

First, the Internet Explorer 5.0 browser could not find the plug-in. 
The plug-in is in the plug-ins directory for the browser.  Can 
someone tell me how you can find out what plug-ins are installed in 
the Internet Explorer browser just as you can with Netscape by 
clicking on the 'About Plug-ins' item on the Help menu? I suspect 
that IE is looking in a different location than the plug-ins directory.

Second, you will not be able to view any of the MathView 
notebooks which I have on my site as June listed below; at least I 
couldn't.  I had used the default html tag given by the MathView 
program which uses the pluginspage option; for some reason, this 
tag switches you from the page containing the MathView notebook 
to the LiveMath site.  If I delete that tag or change the reference on 
the pluginspage to www.livemath.com then you can see my page.
I am going to have to change this for all my MathView notebooks.

Thirdly, the size of the notebooks has been changed; fortunately, 
with the new plug-in the size is smaller.

Best,
Larry
