<name|Maxima> is not alone one of the oldest and best computer algebra
9
systems around, it is also one of the only general purpose systems for
10
which there is a free implementation. You can get it from\

16
The supported version is <name|GCL>-based <name|Maxima> 5.6. For
17
<name|CLisp>-based <name|Maxima> 5.6, edit your <verbatim|tm_maxima> and
18
replace <verbatim|-load> by <verbatim|-i>. For <name|Maxima> 5.9-pre,
19
replace <verbatim|-load> by <verbatim|-p>. Known problems:
22
<item>If you press <key|<key-return>> when a statement is not
23
complete (typically, terminated by <verbatim|;> or <verbatim|$>), the
26
<item>If you cause the Lisp break prompt to appear, the interface will
29
<item>The command <verbatim|info> is not supported (it is defined in the
30
underlying Lisp, and difficult to support portably).
32
<item>Some commands in the debugger work, but some (including
33
<verbatim|:c>) don't work, nobody knows why.
35
<item>The command <verbatim|load> sometimes behaves mysteriously.
