Thanks Martin, as always, for your unstinting and generous help. What then, in your estimation, are the minimal requirements (virtual machine, X server, whatever) to run a complete Axiom - including graphics and HyperDoc - on windows?

I'd recommend that one. This is also the only way to get graphics on windows. Furthermore, if you are interested in combinatorics, Polymake and therefore my Polymake-wrapper only works on linux, too. Together with axiom.el and SPADEDIT for gnu emacs this makes quite a usable environment even for windows users.

So far it only can browse operations, and it's not really tested on windows. Even if it is not that much interesting for production work at the moment, I'd urge you to try it and send me your experiences. > 2) If I inadvertently quit HyperDoc while running Axiom, I can restart it > with )hd.

No, but I'd love to see a fix for that bug, too. All the best, Martin
