not to worry, spad isn't going away any time soon. there are 1100 domains that would need rework which could be done but no-one will do. aldor isn't available. spad and aldor are 99% compatible. aldor needs special constructs because it runs standalone but it is conceptually the same. aldor has an idea or two (like post-facto extensions) which are not used or required in spad. documenting how to program has SO little to do with the language that we could do a s/spad/aldor/ (if i spoke sed) and get the same results. we could call it SPALDOR :-) t _______________________________________________ Axiom-developer mailing list Axiom-developer@nongnu.org http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/axiom-developer
