Yes, well sort of, I remember that I didn't read the paper completely
or try the source code though.
I think the trouble is, as it is now, I don't think I can rely on
Maxima for doing efficient numerical calculations, and there really
isn't a very usable lisp alternative for something like NumPy,
although Matlisp comes close.
Ray and I have been incorporating new stuff into Matlisp though,
hopefully that will mature into something that I'd be happy using.
