Thanks. I think Axiom should expose functions like this in the domains DoubleFloat and in Float. I remain a little confused about how best to treat the LEAST_-POSITIVE_-LONG_-FLOAT in the case of Axiom's Float domain. > > PS: mathaction is actually down > > > Anyway, I modified the example at > > > > http://wiki.axiom-developer.org/SandBoxGamma > > > > to test these values and they seem to work. > > Yes, it was the same problem that we have been having lately with the server when the Python/Zope process just sits and wastes CPU without accomplishing anything. It should be ok now. I have just finished upgrading MathAction to use a newer version of Zope and Python 2.4. I hope that helps. Please let me know if you continue to have problems accessing the server. Thanks.
