One version is available from Symbolics, Inc. (617) 621-7770. Another version, considerably cheaper (I am told), comes from the Department of Energy (DOE). A good intro to MACSYMA's capabilities is available from the Naval Underwater Systems Center, Newport RI 02840 as 'Technical Document 6401'. - nick]
