Does the Maple 16 itself (the final installed application as opposed to the installer) need to be run in the compatibility mode? or is it that only the installer needs to run in compatibility mode and the Maple 16, once installed, can run in full regular Windows 8 (64-bit)?

> Multiple assignment to a vector causes different names pointing to the same object.

It is not multiple assignment that causes the problem.  The problem is that the left-side argument to $ is evaluated before being duplicated, as are most operands to most operators.  So both of the following will work, producing two distinct vectors:

v1, v2:= 'Vector'(2) $ 2;

or

v1,v2:= seq(Vector(2), k= 1..2);
