ALDORROOT is the location of your aldor distribution; it should always
be set to the place where aldor is installed on your machine - in the
NAG days we could install aldor within the axiom tree - I'm guessing
that this isn't viable with different licenses for the two systems.
Fortunately the two things are fairly loosely coupled; I don't see any
reason for the aldor lisp generator to change dramatically, and axiom's
requirements are pretty stable. Moving versions should be less painful
than changing lisps for example.

Not sure; I've probably just taken liberties with the conventional
names; It should be depsys of course. I probably initially used
interpsys, and then ran into a problem and changed the definition and
not the name.

OK - will try to reply quickly, but I'm out and about fairly frequently.
NB: As expected, I missed a bunch of files and certain ones need to have
'document' run on them explicitly - I'll try to prepare a makefile which
explicitly does the document thing first; attrib.as.head.pamphlet
contains a minor error in the \author line; & should be a comma or
something.
