 5. Click "LS-Plugins"
 6. Click "Add" and select mathlink.wlx
 7. Click "OK" twice
 8. An installation of the Mathematica kernel is required.


 * Description:
---------------

The Mathematica Link plugin acts like a simple Mathematica front end. It is
able to load and evaluate files which are either in Mathematica input format
(InputForm) or in Mathematica binary format (DumpSave). Files written by
DumpSave conventionally have names that end with .mx whereas Mathematica input
text files should have names that end with .mlif to make them loadable by the
Mathematica Link plugin.
Evaluation requires a running connection to the Mathematica kernel provided by
the MathLink interface.


 * Example:
-----------

 o example.mlif is some text in Mathematica input format.


 * Limitations:
---------------

 o Mathematica Notebooks require a proper Mathematica front end and therefore
   can not be loaded.


 * ChangeLog:
-------------

 o Version 1.0.1.0 (26.02.2006)
   - fixed: the current working directory is set to the file directory
     immediately after MathLink connection is launched
   - fixed: uninstaller.exe does not delete MathLink DLL's any longer
 o Version 1.0.0.1 (27.01.2006)
   - first public version
