The output goes back to the socket. Yes, but I have no idea how to use sockets from an axiom domain. Do you? If so, go ahead and show me a simple example. I can then adapt the domain. > I hope that the polymake developers find your approach Interesting.

Except that I need to parametrize the domain, to allow for polytopes with vertices being floats or rational numbers. I grepped my polymake directory for "Illegal instruction" but got no match.
