Hi John,

Yes, you are right thinking that the file is encrypted. However, the problem you faced might not come from that: I have just downloaded and installed successfully the package after I had created a directory called StableDistribution.

First, in Mathematica, evaluate $UserAddOnsDirectory. On my system the evaluation returns:
C:\Documents and Settings\Jean-Marc\Application Data\Mathematica

In windows, create a directory called StableDistribution within the Applications directory.

Then, unzip the contents of the file StableDistribution.zip in the newly created directory.

Now, go back to Mathematica. In the menu, select Help -> Rebuild Help Index, then open the help browser, select the tab Add-ons and Links, and you should find the documentation of the package under the title StableDistribution.

To use the package, evaluate Needs["StableDistribution`SMath`"] then SVersion and you should see something like

SMath Version {2005, 3, 6}
for Mathematica 5.0 and higher
Copyright ©2002-2005


Many thanks for the tip. $UserAddOnsDirectory works correctly and the documentation always worked before.
If I have understood correctly, I created a subdirectory

c:\Documents and Settings\john hudson\Application Data\Mathematica\Applications\StableDistribution

which now contains the files

MySMath.nb
Read Me First.txt
RevisionHistory.txt
SMath.m

plus a folder ...\Documentation

However when I enter Needs["StableDistribution`SMath`"] I get the message
Needs::nocont : Context StableDistribution`SMath` was not created when Needs was evaluated.

Perhaps my version of Mathematica can't de-encrypt the m file. Or have I made a spelling mistake. Debugging Mathematica is a bit of a mystery.
