This appeared recently on sci.math.symbolic. I don't know how many of you
read this regularly, so I thought I would repost it to this list in case
anyone could help this fellow.

I understand that the Univ. of Toronto people (I would like some more
information on this) have ported Macsyma to the MIPS machines.
Some one out there tell me who to get in touch with about this. Anyone
have specs on how it runs. The MIPS machine seems to be really fast for
the price (M/120 -15mip machine-educational price 15K right now).

I don't speak for anyone and nobody speaks for me (sob).

We would be grateful if anybody who knows anything about this package or any other symbolic manipulation software for MIPS hardware could e-mail me a synopsis of what you know. We would actually prefer REDUCE over Macsyma because of its simpler handling of tensor equations and Dirac matrices, but please send me anything you have. Presumably, if there are people here who have been doing such work for MIPS hardware, you must have some experience with the machine itself as well. What are your impressions? How well does it work in a multiuser environment? How much maintenance does it require? etc. Thanks in advance, Kevin Dooley -- Kevin Dooley UUCP - {uunet,pyramid}!utai!helios.physics!dooley Physics Dept.
