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 :-)
