Thanks for the valuable information. The only thing I noticed was that the function sieve conflicts with FriCas, so renaming it sieve2 works ok. Could you comment on when to use the include files aldor aldorio axiom axiom.as ? --Doug -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "FriCAS - computer algebra system" group.
