RE: [Axiom-mail] Looking for beginning with axiom.

[Bill Page]

Hi All,

A priliminary version of the "Axiom with TeXmacs" tutorial
can now be downloaded from

  http://savannah.nongnu.org/files/?group=axiom

See Axiom_Tutorial and the README.txt file therein.

This is still a "work in progress". I have converted the
first three chapters of the "Axiom for Windows" tutorial
(which was originally prepared by NAG for the now defunct
commercial Windows version of Axiom) to the new TeXmacs
format. The conversion is not particularly time consumming-
just a little tedious checking everything and correcting
a few file names. I should be finished this and will upload
a updated version later this week.

I will also post a complete version in PDF form in the
next few days.

I really like the result! I think it shows just how versatile
TeXmacs is in combination with Axiom.

I am looking for some feedback.

Cheers,
Bill Page.
