Hi!
I installed maxima 5.12.0 on my windows xp (I don't have a firewall). But
the back-end doesn't start.
When I call maxima.bat from the command-line, it terminates imideatly
without any output. I found out that maxima.bat calls maxima.exe as
follows: maxima.exe -eval "(cl-user::run)" -f
doing this manually produces the same result as from batch-file.
When I call maxima.exe from the command-line, it terminates imideatly
after the following output:

and a prompt - but I don't kwon what to type as it seems to be not the
intended prompt.
Has anyone an idea what could I do to make maxima run on my maschine?
Or what can I do to further debug the problem?
Thanx,
Robert.
