pw 2.5 is ready



You are right, pw is not included in share/contrib.  It has some issues.

My site is down, I don't use comcast internet anymore, I don't know when I will have a new site set up.  Anyway I sent you in a previous email the most recent version.  Use it "as is".  It has some known issues.  You can get previous versions from the archives since I have posted pw.mac to the list directly.

Richard,

Your piecewise work is exactly what I've been looking for these past 
couple of years.  I'm an engineer and I want to solve some statistical 
problems symbolically.  Screw Monte Carlo!

Anyway, pw doesn't show up on 
http://maxima.cvs.sourceforge.net/viewvc/maxima/maxima/share/contrib/ 
and comcast says 
http://home.comcast.net/~rvh2007/site/?/page/Maxima_Page/ 
<http://home.comcast.net/%7Ervh2007/site/?/page/Maxima_Page/>; is 
temporarily unavailable, and it was also unavailable last night.  In a 
previous message you say that maybe pw isn't ready for share/contrib, so 
should I assume that you took it down?  If so, I'd be happy with an 
alpha version or even pre-alpha, and I'd be happy to relate my 
experiences with it.  I'm running Maxima on Win Vista using the 
executable from sourceforge, though I could switch to Fedora Linux if 
necessary.

I also have a stupid newbie question.  I downloaded abs_integrate.mac 
from sourceforge and put it in c:/maxima/mac/ and then:

(C4) LOAD("abs_integrate.mac");
Could not find `opsubst' using paths in FILE_SEARCH_MAXIMA,FILE_SEARCH_LISP

(combined values: [./###.{mc,mac}, C:/maxima/{mac,sym}/###.mac,

C:/maxima/{share,share1,share2,tensor}/###.mc, ./###.{o,lsp,lisp},

C:/maxima/{src,share1,sym}/###.o, C:/maxima/{src,share1,sym}/###.o,

C:/maxima/{src,share1}/###.lisp, C:/maxima/{sym}/###.lsp] )
-- an error.  Quitting.  To debug this try DEBUGMODE(TRUE);)

What am I doing wrong?


Thanks.
