Hello here, In the process of testing jfricas I tried to use the fricas script which I never use. I usually use directly FRICASsys.
But to properly start FriCAS and not having an error message 'X cannot be found' I tried to use 'fricas' with the good option, i.e. just in a terminal here. Following is a result of a sample session: Unknown option: --nox To use a specific workspace use, e.g.: fricas -ws --nox Goodbye. Unknown option: --no-x To use a specific workspace use, e.g.: fricas -ws --no-x Goodbye. Unknown option: --help To use a specific workspace use, e.g.: fricas -ws --help Goodbye. As a suggestion, what about adding '--help' option and eventually '--version' option? Those are really common and when you are stuck a simple '--help' usually helps you. And that's very fast. FriCAS use -'h' to give help on options available, but '-h' is sometimes a real option, see 'ls -h for example' so I suggest to add '--help' as another option. Additionally, I wonder why the error message is always: To use a specific workspace use, e.g.: fricas -ws YourWrongOption. Goodbye What about returning: Unrecognized option '********' Try 'fricas -h' or 'WhateverYouWant' for more information. (In fact I do not even understand the place of the comma in the 'fricas' error message. Probably my ignorance) Just a suggestion of course! __ G. Vanuxem PS / I know the '-h' option for information, but I do not know exactly what are the FSF guidelines for example. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "FriCAS - computer algebra system" group.
