You are putting me in a very uncomfortable situation.

On one hand, your signature suggest your are representing here a
distributor who may include TeXmacs in its standard packages, so I am
expected to stay courteous and polite with you.

One the other hand, you are making a complete idiot (to stay courteous
and polite) of yourself, and seem to presume we are stupid. So I would
rather assume you are just overworked and unappropriately let go of
some steam here.

So, please look at the projet we were talking of. All of this is
already ported and packaged. I just mean to assemble existing parts.

I strongly suggest that you stop insulting people here, and give a
little more respect to people who spend thousand of hours to improve
software that you can use freely, even if they do not have a doctor
degree.

We will be happy to talk with you if you make constructive and
meaningful contributions to our discussions. But that kind of 12 years
kid behaviour is not welcome in this list where, up to now, all
contributors showed intelligence and education.

TeXmacs is NOT a LaTeX front-end and is unrelated to emacs.
