Thank you, Jim, for this extra work !
2 questions:
1. Can you add your opinion about the ability of
the future Maxima to incorporate code from other
GPLed CAS (I think mainly of Pari/gp, since Maxima
is very poor in Number Theory, but this is not
limitative) or at least launch all or some compiled
parts of these CAS.
2. Would it be interesting, in your opinion, to write
some Maple -> Maxima or MuPAD -> Maxima translator
(i.e. to Maxima language, not to lisp)
similar to the Maple -> MuPAD translator of
Fran\c{c}ois Thomasset
htttp://www-rocq.inria.fr/~thomasse/Maple-MuPad/

(so appears the screenshot page 18)
Best regards and thank you so much!
