I believe the Aldor compiler can re-load FOAM files and work with them. `All' OpenAxiom needs to do is to generate FOAMs for linking with the Aldor object files.

As I said, it is not clear to me that the documentation currently publically available contains all I need to know to generate (efficient) FOAMs for Aldor compiler to use. | Are you willing to devote some time to reviewing and expanding the FOAM | documentation? Well, I suspect the documentation job is best done by someone who underdtand FOAM much better than me. When I (briefly) discussed this with Stephen, he (jokingly) refered to legendary Unix manpages that appear impenetrable to the novice, and crystal clear to the experts who already know their contents :-) -- Gaby _______________________________________________ Axiom-developer mailing list Axiom-developer@nongnu.org http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/axiom-developer
