On several different Windows systems I have been running the binary version of FriCAS compiled and packaged for Windows by Alfredo without any serious problems. It only requires that you also install the native Xming program in order to display hyperdoc and graphics. The (minor) problems I have occur when I try to run this on a system which is already otherwise occupied running other memory hungry applications like Microsoft Virtual PC. In that case I sometimes get a error when starting Axiom due to already known issues with Windows memory management. Reducing the number of running applications usually cures the problem. However, I do agree that having Axiom generate gnuplot graphics on Windows would also be desirable. I think the code displayed at: http://axiom-wiki.newsynthesis.org/PlotMathAction will work in the Windows environment. This code however, only implements a small part of the overall graphics capabilities of Axiom using gnuplot. Both Axiom graphics and gnuplot are able to do many more exciting things. I would be very happy if other people were also interested in extending the Axiom gnuplot interface to make more of this available to the user.
