As far as I know, nobody have succeeded to make this working under Windows 
yet. On Linux (and other Unix-like systems) this works out of the box. One 
of the problems is: nobody of developers of this interface has access to 
a computer running MS operating systems (and also I know very little about 
Windows programming).

If you know how to program under Windows, and have some time to help the 
community, I can provide details about how this interface is supposed to 
work, and what goes wrong under Windows (a lot, it seems). Many users will 
be grateful to you, if you port the TeXmacs-maxima interface to Windows.
