Subject: Re: [Maxima] compiling and undefined variables
Thanks for the help. I just tried to check if what you wrote
was correct, but instead I clobbered the file containing 20
mathematica compatibility functions that I've been writing
over the past few days. Maxima has similar looking compile
commands with some taking input filenames and some output;
I screwed it up. I quit for the night!
