Yes, I certainly read it that way, but what I wrote above did not characterize it that way.

Let me know if I can do *anything* to help you out there. I would greatly prefer to solve the problem before the fall. I know that is your time, so it is certainly your decision how you allocate resources. Sage is working on a full scale MSVC 64 bit port of all its components. So it is likely that it will be relatively little work on my end to make a Maxima+ecls 32 and 64 bit MSI installer. And I am hoping that people in the Maxima community will see this as an incentive to help out doing the work. > Robert Dodier Cheers, Michael --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ 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 -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
