The mathinfo program is located below the installation directory. This in turn depends on the location where Mathematica is installed on the hard drive, which can be chosen by the user. On my system, the path is /usr/local/share/Mathematica5/SystemFiles/Installation/Binaries/Linux/m athinfo > > 10.3.4 Running the Mathematica Frontend over a Network > Is that part still correct with Mathematica 5.X ? I don't know since I don't run it over a network. I suggest we keep it with a note that this part was not updated for Mathematica 5. Regards, Boris
