Hi!

Regarding wxMaxima - wxMaxima in contrast to Xmaxima which works as a  
cli application, behaves as
if it knows some things about Maxima. It expects input labels to look  
like (%i1). I don't know exactly
how mockmma works but I don't see any benefit in adding support for  
it into wxMaxima - I think it's
better for wxMaxima to work with Maxima in the best way possible,  
than to support Mockmma. You
can, however take wxMaxima's code and change it so, it supports mockmma.

Note that wxMaxima uses XML based outputs (based on Maxima's internal  
representation of structures)
for 2d output... The amount of changes needed to run mockmma in  
wxMaxima depends on how similar
mockmma and Maxima look on the inside. If only input/output labels  
are different, not much change is
needed. If changes are more fundamental - then there might be quite  
some work to make it work.

I (as 1 of 2 wxMaxima's developers) am not interested in changing  
wxMaxima to support mockmma
(sorry :) ).
