hello fabrizio,
> Error in MACSYMA-TOP-LEVEL [or a callee]: Unexpected end of #<input
> stream
> "C:/PROGRA~1/MAXIMA~1.3/share/maxima/5.9.3/share/contrib/./sarag/settings.mac">.
this error is a result of 2 things --
(1) the file settings.mac does not have an end of line character
at the end of the final line of the file.
(2) READ-CHAR-NO-HANG in GCL 2.6.7 and before is broken.
(i think it is fixed in 2.6.8, but i'm not sure.)
wordpad and/or notepad (not sure which one) creates a file
with no end of line character at the end of the final line if you
don't press enter with the cursor at the end of the file.
i'll look at the SARAG files in cvs and make sure that each one
has an end of line character at the end of the file,
in hopes of avoiding this problem in the future.
hth
