Bill,

What does the Windows version of the plugin do about the double prompt?
(Keeping in mind that OpenAxiom has fixed this issue.)

Can you say something more about the advantages of the threaded vs. the synchronous interface?

I don't know enough to actually port the code, but I would be happy to act as a tester for it on OpenSolaris.

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.

I found tm_axiom.c in TeXmacs-1.0.7.2-src.tar.gz, but it was so hard to
read that I had to partially translate it into more well-known idioms
and more analizable programming patterns, just to get an idea about what
it does.

Oh, and Windows users - forget it. Unless you like to fiddle.
