I have been learning FORM and I must say that it is absolutely
wonderful. I can't believe it was released PD. For a little over 100K,
FORM is *very& powerful. I have been using it to manipulate some simple
gravitational field tensor equations. One question concerning the
wildcard ?: if we have n defined as a symbol and v defined as a function,
does n? mean any symbol and v? mean any function? If do, declaring
n and s to be symbols, does n? = s? ?

I have been using it to manipulate some simple BTW, what language is FORM written in, and how is it (which compiler etc.) compiled on the ST? I am a Computer Algebra user (as well as a 'C' programmer). All similar packages that I've used are at least hundreds of K's, if not Meg's, of bytes big. >gravitational field tensor equations.
