patches which are *very important*



Hello *,

I've just downloaded Maxima from cvs, and I see that the patch to
macsys.lisp is not yen included. It fixes a trivial typo (*prompt-prefix*
instead of *prompt-suffix*). Without applying this patch, the TeXmacs
interface (and all other interfaces, I think) will be broken, when Maxima
asks questions like
Is x positive or negative?
It is absolutely vital to incorporate this trivial fix.

Also, some of bug fixes (and minor improvements) to mactex.lisp are not
yet incorporated. This patch is larger; it includes recent fixes from
Jesper Harder <harder@ifa.au.dk> of the problem with
tex(x[i]^2)$
and enhancements from Marek Rychlik <rychlik@u.arizona.edu> for
tex(let(sin(x)*cos(y),sin(2*x)/2))$
and similar let-rules.

I very much hope that these patches will be incorporated before 5.9.1.

Best wishes,
Andrey Grozin
