Here is the information I have been able to obtain regarding implementation
of symbolic math programs under sco xenix on an 80386. In brief, only
reduce is available, and it costs $500.
1. Maple -- has not been implemented (source: wmsi@daisy.waterloo.edu)
2. Reduce -- has been implemented, and costs $500
(source: melenk@sc.zib-berlin.de; cf. bob@ibuki.com for another
competing implementation)
3. Maxima -- unknown; apparently one would first have to obtain an
implementation of kcl, kyoto common lisp. Incidentally, kcl is free
licensed software. One commercial version sells for $700
(source: bob@ibuki.com). Maxima itself is available by anonymous ftp BUT
IS NOT FREE.
4. Macsyma -- has not been implemented, but implementation might
be considered next year (source: rkz@tyrannosaurus.scrc.symbolics.com)
5. Mathematica -- under investigation for possible development
(source: washburn@wri.com)
Any corrections and/or additional information will be greatly appreciated!
