I think he would be interested in something like the simple_server API: http://www.sagemath.org/doc/reference/sagenb/simple/twist.html
...but I don't understand it well enough so I didn't try to explain it to him (Barry MacKichan). Currently MacKichan uses mupad as a backend; the acquisition by MathWorks has made this less attractive to them in a variety of ways I think. It might even make sense to have people who understand the notebook and its communication with Sage have a conference call with him soon. -Marshall On Jan 7, 9:43 pm, john_perry_usm <john.pe...@usm.edu> wrote: > Hi > > The ceo of MacKichan Software came by the booth to ask how easy it > might be to integrate sage into their big software package (Scientific > Workplace).
