You need to install TeXmacs separately. See: http://www.texmacs.org/tmweb/download/windows.en.html There is more information about the TeXmacs interface for Axiom and specifically Axiom on Windows here: http://wiki.axiom-developer.org/TeXmacs > > There doesn't even seem to be any sman.exe included. > > [No bat or cmd files in my Axiom directory tree; > there are a bunch of bat files in my separately > downloaded (and apparently incompatible) WinTexMacs > directory, but they all seem to be within the ghostscript > subtree.] Why do you say they are "apparently incompatible"?

No. Niether the pre-compiled nor the current Windows sources for Axiom support sockets via the old Axiom-specific code. There is some (experimental) support for native GCL socket support, but this is not used by Axiom. > ... > I have no problem with "read the manual" answers > if someone knows the manual in question....<grin> > Well as I said previously, the Axiom website http://wiki.axiom-developer.org has a lot of "answers". If you find places where it is deficient, please feel free to add additional information - this is a community-run wiki (editable website).
