Q: save-lisp-and-die in maxima?



Hello,
sorry this is a fundamental misunderstanding.

I do not want to create a maxima-binary in order to have
maxima|xmaxima|rmaxima available as a user-program. I would like to
produce a maxima-user-application. Like in lisp you can start your
lisp-implementation load your code and then write a runable memory-image
of the current status of your lisp as a binary to the harddisk. You can
carry this memory-image to a different (compatible) pc and start it. you
can perform some calculations and then (like in a pc-game save-status)
stop and save the current memory-image to disk again ... and so on.
As maxima is a lisp-application I hope that this is possible with maxima
as well. Start my maxima-program on one computer load my maxima-sources
and then save the current status of maxima as a runable memory-image.


Thanks, anyway
Robert
