2. A very simple Maple interface

From the web site mentioned above we can download the Maple procedure run_phc and an example worksheet on how to use this procedure. The Maple procedure requires only two arguments: the path name ending in the name of the executable version of the program, and a list of polynomials. This procedure sets up the input file for phc, calls the blackbox solver and returns the list of approximate solutions. This list is returned in Maple format.
