Hi
I have created a simple front end in C# to Maxima. I call it rMaxima (based on my first initial). It works for most Maxima functions but does not handle all of them well. It is really pretty easy, I did not have to write much code. I did it in Visual Studio 2005 but it works and compiles in SharpDevelop (build 2970) too. I don't see much use for it as it stands now since there is already xMaxima and wxMaxima for Windows. The only use is that I am thinking of adding some commands to rMaxima that have no Maxima equivalent but which I would like to have. Also it saves the output as well as input in the rm file. The rm extension is the extension to an rMaxima input and output file. This is very still experimental and there are major bugs in it still. I don't know if it would work on anything else besides Windows.
I want to add support for pretty equations like iMaxima and wxMaxima but I will probably have to reinvent that too.

Subject: Maxima Sockets
I asked the group before about how wxMaxima talks to Maxima so I can do it in any language. Well I have finally gotten it to work in MS VC++, so now I can (in principle) write my own front end for Maxima. But that can wait, I want to really do the socket connection in C# not C++. Also I want to do the same in a 4th generation language that I like.
