I believe we should push such implementations to provide the identification through either --help or --version. That is standard practice, and any implementation that has any sense does that. The fact that openmcl crashes on --version is a symptom of bug in that implementation, and its developers might want to know about it. -- Gaby _______________________________________________ Axiom-developer mailing list Axiom-developer@nongnu.org http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/axiom-developer
