Hi All, I know of the Axiom book and the tutorial, but that does not contain what I want; an overview of types and a list of functions for all types. Everywhere I looked, I was directed to hypertex, which is not available on windows. So let me refrase my initial question: can somebody convert the hypertex documentation to a general purpose format which is readable on all platforms? Candidate formats are: -pdf -html -info Without this documentation it *REALLY* is impossible for Windows users to quickly explore Axiom's functions and make use of them. Currently, Windows users can only use what they can find in the examples or the book, which is not complete.

This is a simple C function that should run on Windows. It can extract and print any information that the database knows about functions. Yes. asq is available from the MSDOS command line on windows. Now that I think about it, it should be straightforward to connect asq to a browser since a C function can be used as a cgi-bin program. It might take a little fondling to make the output display well in html but that's not conceptually hard. I'll look at it. Yes. That would me nice. :-) Regards, Bill Page. ___ Axiom-mail mailing list Axiom-mail@nongnu.org http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/axiom-mail

If I start a fresh axiom session, compile a spad file which contains some new Ring, say MyWonderfulPhantasticRing it will be listed by HyperDoc automatically. Lots of software out there feature a built-in web server so that a browser can act as the control. Axiom could do the same for the documentation, system settings and other automation features.
