Macaulay for the Amiga
The commutative algebra / algebraic geometry program "Macaulay" is now
available for the Amiga by ftp from "zariski.harvard.edu".
"Macaulay" is a research-level mathematical program for those interested in
the cohomology of coherent modules on projective varieties and related
matters. The authors are Mike Stillman of Cornell and Dave Bayer of
Columbia. Work on "Macaulay" was begun in the late 1970's. The program is
largely platform independent. This Amiga port represents version 3 of the
program.
One gains access to "zariski.harvard.edu" by "ftp" with login = "ftp" and
password = user-id. File retrieval should be confined to "off hours" in
the Eastern U.S. time zone.

Files of relevance for the Amiga are:

The file "mac3amy.zoo" is a "zoo" archive containing the Amiga executable
of "Macaulay".
Those wishing to use "Macaulay" on the Amiga will also want to retrieve the
"tar" archive "M3.tar" in order to extract the help file and the scripts.
The file "mac3amysrc.tar" is a "tar" archive containing "diffs" for
seven of the Macaulay source files that had to be altered in order to
port Macaulay to the Amiga. The original sources to which the "diffs"
should be applied are found in the archive "M3.tar".
The current executable was compiled in October, 1990 in the Department of
Mathematics and Statistics at the State University of New York at Albany
and still seems to be reliable as this note is being prepared on
April 27, 1991.
Questions on the Amiga implementation of "Macaulay" should be referred
to William F. Hammond, Department of Mathematics and Statistics,
University at Albany (SUNYA), Albany, NY 12222, tel. 518-442-4625,
email: hammond@leah.albany.edu.
Question regarding "Macaulay" itself should be referred to the
authors: Mike Stillman of Cornell and Dave Bayer of Columbia.
