I meant taylor takes too long not the power series.

I have gcl but being totally new to lisp I would like to know how I can run Maxima inside lisp. My lisp is installed in a different directory than Maxima. How could I write something at the top level that would execute the Maxima source?
Thanks,
Rich
Retraction, the power series is a better way to compute bessel_j than the taylor function as I said in another email. It takes very long and is consistent with Maxima. Does anyone know a way to speed taylor up?

unless people are being very careful in how they use optimize declarations
in the different lisp implementations,
it is possible that a factor of 2 to 10 speedup remains to be obtained.
Care in this generally requires using profiling tools to see where time is
spent on particular calculations of interest,.
More important is your observation that one lisp or another has bugs!
