Hi, I would also like to support Ralf's request. Perhaps you will have a short look at the mailing lists fricas-devel@googlegroups.com, "axiom-devel" <axiom-develo...@nongnu.org>, to convince yourself, that there is currently active development of axiom algebra, to mention a few:
* the tensor algebra package by Franz Lehner and Wladek Hebisch * the new and vastly improved rate package by Martin Rubey and Waldek Hebisch * a new Clifford algebra domain by Martin Baker * and more... It would really help to have Aldor available and to see a path for the further develoment of AXIOM and its flavours FriCAS and openAXIOM. Kind regards BF.
