I am forwarding this on Viktor Toth's behalf. Is anyone *currently*
working on the tensor package?

Greetings,
Is there at present anyone working on the MAXIMA tensor packages?
I'm asking because I have (based, in part, on fixes published by Yuri
Semenov of Odessa, on his Web site) pretty much fixed ITENSOR/CTENSR and
both packages now appear to be working correctly, executing all
documentation examples with the correct results. I'd be happy to make this
"official" and contribute my changes, or even become the maintainer of these
components in the future if you need a volunteer.
One issue that affects both of these packages is that prompting (e.g., in
ENTERMATRIX) doesn't work correctly: prompts are not displayed presumably
because output buffers are not flushed. Is this something you could address
in an upcoming release?
And... unrelated but whereas in the past, I always compiled MAXIMA with GCL,
it appears that recent versions do not work correctly if compiled with it.
CMUCL works fine. I presume this problem is known.
