Thank you for this information. Unfortunately Michael said the sourceforge page was mostly out of date and pointed me to this: http://ecls.wiki.sourceforge.net/space/showimage/eclm2008.pdf rather than some useful manual, which I just found via Google at uh, sourceforge, the place I was told not to look. Thanks Michael. http://ecls.sourceforge.net/new-manual/pr01s02.html --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ 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 -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
