This is a good news!
I'm working with it in everyday work. I consider the cvs version as workable
(in most cases). I also wrote some extension to manage the Levi-Chewitta
symbols and these packages were posted to the list an year ago. I belive
that cvs version gives correct results on examples given in the manual as
well. These exaples are reproduced in itensor.dem. I guess Viktor should
check the cvs firstly.
best rgds,

| 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.
