I now have the maxima-cvs-20020408 release installed on

	AMD Athlon		GNU/Linux version 2.4.2-2smp (Red Hat 7.1 (Seawolf))
	Apple PowerPC G3 267MHz	GNU/Linux 2.2.18-4hpmac (Red Hat Linux/PPC 2000 Q4)
	Compaq/DEC Alpha	OSF/1 4.0F
	IBM PowerPC		AIX 4.2
	Intel Pentium III	GNU/Linux 2.4.9-31smp (Red Hat 7.2 (Enigma))
	SGI Origin 200		IRIX 6.5
	Sun SPARC		Solaris 2.7
	Sun SPARC		Solaris 2.8

Build attempts failed on these systems, usually because neither
gcl-2.4.1 nor clisp-2.28 could be installed:

	Apple PowerPC G4 267MHz	Darwin 5.3
	Compaq Alpha Sierra	OSF/1 5.0
	DEC Alpha		GNU/Linux 2.2.19-6.2.1 (Red Hat 6.2)
	HP 9000/712		HP-UX 10.20
	IBM SP/2		AIX 4.3.2.0
	Intel Pentium II	FreeBSD 4.4-RELEASE #0
	Sun SPARC		GNU/Linux 2.2.19-6.2.1 (Red Hat 6.2)

In most of the successes above, clisp installations were more
successful than gcl ones.

I've also done some more library searching today to extend
macsyma.bib, notably via many different European library catalogs.
This increased the entry count from 387 to 415.

The file header in macsyma.bib now carries a pointer to the maxima Web
sites, and has a brief history of Macsyma.
