I want to write a conversion function for maxima, how can I begin?




there may be a bug in wxmaxima, but in a console command window, try

writefile("c://temp//foo.txt");
b:rat(x+1)^10;
fortran(z=b);

closefile();


.....
then look in c:\temp\foo.txt


... try other programs too.  You might like   string(...)
