Many thanks, Waldek. I just downloaded it to a safe place. | One can see that this tarball contains working Axiom binary (for | i386 Linux).

OK; thanks! -- Gaby _______________________________________________ Axiom-developer mailing list Axiom-developer@nongnu.org http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/axiom-developer
