[Fwd: [ maxima-Bugs-765510 ] writefile broken in Windows 5.9.0]

hi doug,

thanks for following up.

by the way, can you execute run_testsuite(); and tell us what happens?
and maybe try some plots too. thanks a lot for your help!

OK, i've reopened the bug report. 

writefile basically just passes the ball to the lisp function DRIBBLE.
can you test DRIBBLE for us?  try this:
:lisp (dribble "foo.dribble")
a+b;
print(foo);
:lisp (dribble)
what is the content of "foo.dribble" after that?

if you have a separate installation of lisp, can you try calling
DRIBBLE within the lisp interpreter?

thanks for any information,

robert dodier
