mailing-list for TeXmacs Users

[Bill Page <address@hidden>]

Enrique,

Your work with the axiom plugin is similar to previous work that never
became part of the TeXmacs distribution. Perhaps you might be
interested in the historical discussion of this subject on the
original Axiom developer list

http://www.mail-archive.com/search?q=texmacs&l=axiom-developer%40nongnu.org

and more recently on  the OpenAxiom developer list (mentioned here
also by Kostas):

http://sourceforge.net/search/index.php?group_id=203172&form_submit=Search&search_subject=1&search_body=1&type_of_search=mlists&all_words=texmacs

There is also a version of this plugin distributed at:

http://axiom-wiki.newsynthesis.org/TeXmacs

This version was specialized for Windows and implements a more
efficient threaded asynchronous interface rather than the synchronous
approach of the older version.  I would be very happy if someone was
interested in porting this version to Linux (which is mostly a matter
of using posix threads instead of the Microsoft-specific api. If you
or anyone else is interested, I would be glad to participate.

Regards,
Bill Page.
