                 INSTALL INFORMATION FOR:
                 MATLAB 4.2c for WINDOWS (five disks)   and
                 MATLAB NOTEBOOK SUITE for Windows (one disk)

When MATLAB asks for a serial number, use any 6-digit number, e.g., 223344. If
you already have an earlier version of MATLAB for Windows installed, you could
erase it before beginning the install of this version.  You probably don't want
to do this, however, because this new version will keep the path names for the
toolboxes, etc. which are in your current MATLABRC.M. If you install this
version without first erasing your earlier version, much of the earlier version
will get erased anyway, assuming you ask for the new version to be installed in
the same directory, but I think it will keep any of your own .M files that are
lying about (I'd still back them up somewhere to be safe).

	Also released at about the same time as v4.2c was the MATLAB Notebook
Suite User's Guide.  The 5 disks of MATLAB 4.2c install by themselves as a
stand-alone program, and the Notebook Suite is an optional, additional disk
which I am releasing at the same time as v4.2c.  The Notebook Suite manual
does not make it clear whether it REQUIRES v4.2c, or whether it will work with
4.2x or 4.0x.  It certainly requires at least some version of MATLAB for
Windows, if not in fact v4.2c. In any event, the Notebook Suite has its own
install.

	The MATLB Notebook Suite for Windows is a package of productivity tools
for Windows users.  It consists of:
	(1) The MATLAB Notebook.  This requires that you have Microsoft Word
v6.0 or 6.0a for Windows already installed.
	(2) The MATLAB Path Manager, which allows you to examine and modify
your MATLAB search path dynamically, without having to save to MATLABRC.M
and restart MATLAB.  Optionally, you can save changes to MATLABRC.M.
	(3) The Workspace Browser, which allows you to examine your workspace
variables.
	(4) The Matrix Editor, which allows you to modify your workspace
variables.

     Upon completing installation of the Notebook, you will end up in Word with
an extensive document to view explaining its function.  Essentially, the
Notebook allows you to include pieces of MATLAB sessions, including graphs,
directly into MS Word documents!  Thus, there is a much tighter integration of
MS Word and MATLAB than just using the clipboard to cut and paste!
