On redhat 7.1 with maxima-5.6, stringout does not seem to work. First of
all, it complains when I try to specify a file. For instance,
(c1) integrate(x^2,x)$
(c2) stringout("~/maxima/scratch/temp.bat",c1);
Error: cannot create file ~/maxima/scratch/temp.bat,
....
Next, I try stringout without any file specification.
(c1) integrate(x^2,x)$
(c2) stringout(c1);
(d2) /home/rfell/c1;
But, the file c1 is empty.
I think my snytax is correct as this syntax works with commercial
Macsyma on windows 2000.
Thanks,
