Unfortunately, the answer is more or less: no. > How much of the aldor user's guide is applicable? Aldor is a programming language. It comes with basically 3 libraries. 1) axllib 2) libaldor 3) libalgebra where actually libalgebra is built on top of libaldor. When you use Aldor under FriCAS, then it basically is as if you use yet another library (which is called "axiom" -- maybe we should rename that to "fricas") In this sense, everything in the Aldor User Guide that is not referring to a library, is applicable, i.e., the language description itself. When you use Aldor with FriCAS, you can look at http://fricas.github.io/api/index.html to find out about the function/domains/categories/packages that are available. However, there is one big difference: you can use Aldor only to "extend" what is already in FriCAS and you can use your programs only in a FriCAS session but never as standalone programs. > 2.

Simply type inside a fricas session: )compile sieve.as for i in 1..6 repeat ( _ n := 10^i; _ outputList ["There are ", sieve n, " primes <= ", n] _ ) The following site needs some update... :-( http://axiom-wiki.newsynthesis.org/SandBoxAldorSieve Maybe more tomorrow...
