I understand. I have ported Axiom from Maclisp/VMLisp on mainframes to workstations to PCs under a dozen lisps and a dozen opsys versions, including Dos so I understand his pain. In fact, I think that porting Sage is going to absorb a very large portion of your available time and energy. The port to the next version of Python should be fun. Trust me, you're underpaying Michael :-) Tim Daly Axiom --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ 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://www.sagemath.org -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
