Dear Jim,
Dear Colleagues,
I am very pleased to bring to your attention that I have been able
to download and install Maxima 5.9.0 on my Windows Millennium
computer at 866 MHz without any problems. The bug fixes reported
have been confirmed. Essentially, no more bugs! Many thanks Jim!
I am very satisfied from Maxima now and I hope my students will
be also happy after about a fortnight (new semester) receiving the
new release to work with in my course.
>From my position as a simple user of Maxima, I would like to
express my thankfulness particularly to Jim for his devotion to
Maxima and his hard work on it especially during the last few
months with 5.9.0. This is particularly true for the Windows
version.Congratulations Jim for this release!
> I hope that this problem will be fixed by moving to StarKits, as was
> suggested elsewhere on the list.
This point requires some additional effort by a non-experienced
user of Maxima. Perhaps tomorrow. Presently, I have installed
the original (English-Western European) version of Maxima
officially distributed with the cp1252 encoding. The English-
Greek version (cp1253 encoding) later!
Many sincere thanks again and best regards from Patras,
Nikos
