Thanks
It could work but as you said it would not
work in the next version of Maxima.
So maybe I should find some other solution or
simply give up for the moment using directories with
capital letters when using files in Maxima.
Hoping that the next version of Maxima allows
reading integers from stream even those
whose paths have capital letters.
Thanks anyway
