Hi here, Hi Waldek, Waldek, what do you think of allowing, via an user option in command line arguments say, '--no-banner', to suppress the banner at startup to better interface FriCAS to different frontends?
This could be done for example via the fricas script which sends to FRICASsys the '--no-banner' parameter and can be extracted in fricas-init routine. With SBCL this is available in the sb-ext:*posix-argv* variable, other Common Lisp implementations are also able to access command line arguments. For what I have found the essential pieces of code to print this banner are in fricas-init (util.lisp) and spadStartUpMsgs (msgdb.boot). I can code a proof of concept piece of code for review if necessary.
