Roughly speaking, for each CAS program xxx a class XxxStream is defined and the << operator is overloaded such that to obtain a representation of a MathArray or other objects in that particular program language. The patch may seem big but the relevant changes are practically confined to math_extern.C. IMHO it does not make sense to apply separately from the rest the new mathematica/maxima methods as they do not solve the parsing problems I encountered, so let's see what André has to say. All I can say is that I think I understood the interface and tested the patch quite extensively. It works for me with both maxima and mathematica on Windows and *nix. For non-symbolic computations it also works with octave. I could not test maple as I don't have it, but I am sure I didn't break anything in that respect. -- Enrico
