It's:

Maxima version: 5.21.1
Maxima build date: 8:13 4/26/2010
Host type: i686-pc-mingw32
Lisp implementation type: GNU Common Lisp (GCL)
Lisp implementation version: GCL 2.6.8

Did you get it to work in the example file? If so, please send it to me - it may be I made a mistake testing it.

Thanks,
James
