As an experiment (to see if it would be possible to use with my students), I'm experimenting to see if I can run Axiom under windows. I've downloaded Axiom 0.1.3, and that runs fine, in a console. I've also downloaded cygTeXmacs, which is a huge download (80Mb), which I haven't got working quite yet.
Now the trouble is that this setup: Axiom in TeXmacs in Cygwin in Windows, is three or four removes from a native system. Ideally, we would want Axiom in a windows native executable interface (such as WxMaxima). Since windows is, for better or worse, the predominant desktop OS currently, with no change likely in the foreseeable future, I would have thought that to make Axiom more popular, a native interface is required. As an interim, maybe we need some sort of Axiom+TeXmacs+Cygwin installer, which involves the downloading of just one file, and which then installs itself in a directory somewhere, with all appropriate links and paths set during the installing process. Just my Saturday morning 2 cents. -Alasdair
