Dear Nicolas, Bertfried, * Nicolas: I'm copying this to you, since I'd like you to correct me if I'm mistaken...

The point is that MuPad code is very AXIOMish But you do know that MuPAD Combinat itself is released under the LGPL? See: http://sourceforge.net/projects/mupad-combinat/ In fact, summer last year I asked Nicolas Thiery about porting Combinat to Axiom and he seemed *very* much in favor of it. (In order to have a second platform. *NOT* as a replacement, of course.) So this can and should certainly be done. I also put it as an item on the MathAction WishList, in fact... To do the porting, it would be great if somebody knowledgeable of the bigger structures in MuPAD (i.e., what does a domain, a category look like) would write a bunch of regexps that would save us a bit of typing... Other than that, Nicolas is *very* responsive, and he gave me some suggestions where to start, but I admit, I forgot. So, dig in!
