Complete Setup on Windows With No Builds Required

  This page gives instructions for making a complete Axiom environment on Windows without doing any builds.

  Axiom is mostly developed on UNIX systems, and its Windows support is minimal.  You can, however, achieve a reasonably good working environment.

  These are the caveats:

  - The binary downloads do not support X, so even if you have a working X server, it will not be used.  This means you will not have the built-in Axiom GUI interface, Hyperdoc, or any Drawing.

  - .axiom.input is not supported on Windows.
