Faithful readers of this list may be aware of this program, but
it's gotten somewhat more capable, and can now be FTP'd from
here. Here's an example of what it can do:
......
<cl> (tl)
L-Mathematica (Sun-4) 1.3 (Jan. 18, 1991) [With pre-loaded data]

In[2] := Timing[RatExpand[(x+y+z)^15];done]

....
That line [2] seems to be rather faster than Mathematica on the same
machine. The lines 3-7 illustrate the primitive "derivative-divides"
integration package, and the possibility of enhancing it by
pattern matching.
....
To reconstruct this on your unix system (I'm using Allegro Common Lisp,
and it should work on any hardware supporting it; it should also work
in other Common Lisps), do the following:
cd someplace with room for a few 100k bytes
type:
ftp peoplesparc.Berkeley.EDU
anonymous %%response to name prompt
your name %%response to password prompt
image %% or maybe, for some ftp systems, binary rather than image
cd pub
get mma.tar
quit
%%now you're out of ftp
tar xvf mma.tar
uncompress mma.src/*
%% you are now the proud possessor of the files
%% you should probably try to compile them.
.......
If you get a copy, I would appreciate e-mail (to fateman@Berkeley.EDU)
advising me of that fact, so I can keep you up on new features or
improvements. Of course I'd like to know of any
problems or successes you have. On the other hand, I can't promise
to fix any particular problems, and there is no warranty. If you
are interested in enhancing the behavior of this system for use
by others, please tell me.
