Does anyone know of computer algebra programmes for the Atari ST? I have just sent off to an address in England about REDUCE, and am trying to get a line on another programme called SCHOONSHIP which was apparently devel- oped at CERN. Is there anything else available? Approximate prices and the names of distributors (preferably in the vicinity of Zuerich (:-) would be appreciated. Thanx in advance, idr

Almost ready for BETA testing - any volunteers? If you are interested contact me by email. Warning: Maple will take up about 4 megabytes of disk space if you want the full distribution and isn't terribly comfortable with less than about 1 meg of RAM. It does quite well on a MegaST2. As for final price - should be the same as for the Amiga or Mac: somewhere around $400.00 . I'm not sure - I just develop it, I'm not in sales.

We use Schoonschip here, it costs approx $400,-, comes in a blue cartridge and can be ordered from the author: Topsoft, Inc. 2300 Woodside Ann Arbor, Mi 48104 Schoonschip is a simple but powerful language to handle big (<100000 terms) expressions, do not expect factorization, diiferentiation etc built-in. I have seen a PD version of Reduce form Germany, but also heard that this version is illegal, so I do not know what the verdict is. Being tested here but not yet available is Form, a program of the Schoonschip type which can handle larger expressions and is faster still. Hope this helps, G. J. van Oldenborgh

Thereis no PD version of Reduce. Only bootleg - illegal.

I recently ran across a brief mention of REDUCE in a book on computer algebra/ simulation. Apparently, this product is a available in Germany for around $500.00 (US). I do not have the name of the company, nor do I have a copy of REDUCE. I should be able to dig up the name of the book if anyone is interested. --Patrick Simon mpsimon@phoenix.princeton.edu 11-7-88
