A revised version of Maxima by Example, Chap. 2,
Plots, Files, Read, Write, and Fit, has been uploaded.
The Jan. 19, 2012 updates reflect the necessity of
using the complete file path (in ver. 5.26.0) for
all of the "file name slots" in the file manipulation
functions defined in mfiles.mac. To save typing,
one can define (in your maxima-init.mac file) a
function mkp (make path) which makes use of a
global parameter bpath which is a string which
provides the base of the path to your work folder.
One can then use mkp("myfile1.txt") instead of
"c:/work2/myfile1.txt" as an argument to a file
name slot. This is discussed at length in the
introduction to the File section of chapter two.
Updated files are:
--mbe2plotfit.pdf : Jan. 19, 2012, Maxima 5.26.0, 44 pages
--mbe2code.txt : Code file: Jan. 19, 2012, Maxima 5.26.0
--mfiles.mac : Maxima code for file work, Jan. 19, 2012, Maxima 5.26.0
