Hi all,

a little note about TeXmacs and maxima-5.10.0 on Windows and a general thought :

I have just merged the two files from Andrey, both unchanged.

1. tm_maxima I put into \plugins\maxima\bin

2. texmacs-maxima-5.10.0.lisp I put into \plugins\maxima\lisp

in addition I did:

3. in plugins\maxima\progs there is a file init-maxima.scm
I made sure, there is a line
  (:launch "maxima.bat -p %TEXMACS_SHORT_PATH%/plugins/maxima/lisp/texmacs-
maxima-5.10.0.lisp")
in it

4. in \plugins there is a file pluginpaths.txt 
Here I had to put in the path to \Maxima-5.10.0\bin
( Remark: I can't remember, I believe this file is created when installing WinTeXmacs. 
I found all CAS-paths on my computer in there. )

After step 4 everything seems to work fine.


Just an idea: We should offer the needed TeXmacs-files from Andrey on Maximas home 
page as well, so that not only people from the list can use them.
