Thanks for that hint. I studies the PBN documentation, but may have overlooked this issue. And the only program I have (Bridge Composer) has not complained. Please continue exploring! Thanks!

Yes, sorry. Java is always developing, but not always downwards compatible. This program is used by only very few users. So, I did not go through the hassles of testing compatibility with Java 8. I suggest installing the most recent Java version. It is indeed possible to have two Java versions on one computer, and use the proper one via a batch or command file.

Good.

The interaction between EMT and Maxima is based on strings, because the man point of Maxima is to help EMT with symbolic computations. Thus the return value of Maxima is always a string. You can evaluate any string in EMT with brackets like string() as long as EMT understands it. E.g., if you use Maxima for numerical computations you will not get a number but a string containing the number which needs to be evaluated. Your example works as follows: v = 10*u() 29.4772369317 Of course, you can also...

Most likely a different definition of the elliptic integral. According to their docs, elliptic_kc is defined as integrate("1/sqrt(1 - 0.8*sin(x)^2)", 0, pi/2) 2.25720532682 And the numerical result that EMT computed is exactly what Maxima computes.
