You'll need to get a Lisp compiler that is supported by MockMMA - my guess
is that ACL (Allegro Common Lisp) would be a good one - they have a free
evaluation version. If you don't know how to use the compiler then you've
got to start at the bottom of the knowledge hill by reading the manual for
your Lisp compiler and learning enough Lisp to get by on.

No - it stands alone.

CY/Richard or whomever was implying that you might like to write a binding
between the MockMMA language and the Maxima mathematics engine. That is not
a simple task.
