And one more things about the "Sage \neq Bork" line: Sage does contribute back upstream in form of patches/improvements. Examples are LinBox and libSingular for Singular, ports to Cygwin and/ or Solaris, build fixes in general for more exotic architectures and potentially a wider exposure of software to a user group that is unlikely to use "specialized" systems like lcalc or mwrank directly. But that increased number of users translates in suggestions and also bugs that are fixed upstream and then in turn benefit everybody.
You could like Sage to "the one ring that binds them all", but that is a little too dark in my opinion ;) Cheers, Michael PS: Sorry for the double post. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ To post to this group, send email to sage-devel@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-devel URLs: http://sage.scipy.org/sage/ and http://modular.math.washington.edu/sage/ -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
