Hmm, looks like Maxima doesn't recognize a range for the vertical axis.
I think the following works:
plot3d (1/(x^2 + y^2), [x, -1, 1], [y, -1, 1], [gnuplot_preamble, "set
zrange [0:100]"]);
But Maxima should recognize [z, 0, 100] just like for x and y
and pass an appropriate parameter to the plotting program (Gnuplot
or whatever). I guess that is just an oversight. I'll put it on my to-do
list although I won't be disappointed if someone else does it first.

No problem, thanks for making the effort. Hope this helps.
