Is there any way to pack a Mathcad file as an application that can be run by somebody who doesn't have Mathcad?

Thanks

No. Sorry. That is not possible.

Maybe you could used VB to call the worksheet, but you would require a license I would have thought.

There is a server-based version of Mathcad ... see Valery's latest posting http://communities.ptc.com/message/181645#181645

Previously been available a free viewer from Mathsoft - Mathcad Explorer (the last version was for Mathcad 8 file format). You can find a link for downloading here: http://communities.ptc.com/message/164132 .

Thanks. Looks like I'll have to refresh on Fortran......

Fortran?! Ugh! I hate that language. Unless you are committed to it for some reason, you may want to take a look at Python. It's free, portable across many platforms, can be run in an interpreter or compiled to byte code, and there are very large numerical, scientific, and engineering libraries available (all free). And, unlike Fortran, it was built for OOP. For a very quick guide, look up "A Byte of Python".
