Hello,
The documentation I seem to find on maxima has to do with using the
program.
Is there any documentation on how to develop packages?
For instance, how does on use the command
(in-package :maxima)
what does one have to do to ansi common lisp code to get it to work
in maxima?
Can someone send me a list of functions are special to maxima,
(e.g. mfuncall) and which need to
be changed from some particular version of common lisp?
I know that the various lisps are different. So, it would be nice
to pick one (say gcl or cmucl, etc) and describe the porting
procedures for that one.
For instance, it has been suggested that, to speed up some
routines, they should be written in lisp and called up when needed.
I now know that one needs to know the answers to the above (and
many more) questions to do this successfully.
-Thanks for any suggestions.

P.S. I know that everyone is very busy. Even piecemeal answers would
help.
