Edit detail for OldTeXmacs revision 4 of 4

changed:
-   On all Unix/Linux systems the most recent version of TeXmacs is pre-configured to automatically interface with Axiom provided that Axiom is "installed":AxiomBinaries and AXIOMsys is accessible at the command line (must be in the path). The current interface for Axiom has some known limitations when formatting long mathematical expressions.

-I suspect the problem is that the axiom interface module is calling AXIOMsys

changed:
-shell script starts the 'sman' (superman) process which starts AXIOMsys, the
-hyperdoc browser, and the graphics connection. If you call AXIOMsys directly

changed:
-I even followed the instructions on the FAQ and changed the AXIOMsys to axiom and even sman. But if I do that though HyperDoc appears, I have to press return several times(may be upto 7 times) before the answer appears on the texmacs interface. Just blank lines with the red axiom prompt keep on appearing.

changed:
-Is there a possibility of using the hyperdoc type in the commands in the TeXmacs interface (to get a nicely formatted output)? I tried to replace the tm_axiom program with the one that launches axiom or sman  instead of AXIOMsys but doing that causes me to press the enter key several times to get the commands accepted and that is really annoying.

-AXIOMsys does direct reads from its terminal.

changed:
-The problem with starting axiom (or sman) instead of AXIOMsys from TeXmacs is that it writes the prompt twice instead of once when it starts. One can modify tm_axiom.c to wait for two prompts at start-up time. This was done in the old TeXmacs interface with commercial Axiom.

     )set output texmacs

     --------------------------- The texmacs Option ----------------------------

      Description: options for display of AXIOM output in TeXmacs

      )set output texmacs is used to control the TeXmacs-AXIOM interface
     The default values are controlled by environment variable TM_AXIOM
     and may be overriden by command line options.

     Syntax:   )set output texmacs <arg>
         where arg can be one or more of
       break <on>|<off>      line-break algorithm
       over <on>|<off>       convert 2-d \over to 1-d
       cdot <on>|<off>       convert \cdot to \ (space)
       space <on>|<off>      convert \ (space) to \,
       big( <on>|<off>       convert \left( \right to ( )
       width <9.99>          line width in inches

         <on> may be on, yes, 1
         <off> may be off, no , 0

     The current settings are:
       break 1, over 1, cdot 1, space 0, big( 1, width 4.5

      $ which tm_axiom

      /cygdrive/c/Program Files/axiom/mnt/windows/bin/tm_axiom.exe

     c:\Program Files\wintexmacs\TeXmacs\plugins\axiom\packages\session\axiom.ts

     c:\Program Files\axiom\mnt\windows\axiom.ts

      cd /usr/share/TeXmacs/plugins/axiom/packages/session

      cp /cygdrive/c/Program Files/axiom/mnt/windows/axiom.ts .

s := operator 's DE := D(s(t),t,2) = -k^2s(t) - cD(s(t),t) S := solve(DE,s,t=0,[A,0]?) S1 == eval(S,[A=1,k=1,c=3]?) draw(S1,t=0..100)

Following the compiling of the draw function, I get:

Graph data being transmitted to the viewport manager...

>>System error: SOCK-SEND-INT is invalid as a function.

protected-symbol-warn called with (NIL)

This same error appears both in axiom alone and in WinTeXmacs?. Any ideas for solving this would be appreciated. If I need to set the AXIOM and PATH variables, as suggested above, what should they be set to? You can respond to me at jws@cablespeed.com if you wish.

Thanks, John Sheppard
