They have a purpose, which is the same as the purpose for having magma, pari, etc., directories. It's just that so far nobody has ever used them. I didn't know that they wouldn't get used when I made them. I thought I would be including all kinds of interesting mathematica code in Sage (in that extcode/mathematica directory), which would only work if mathematica is installed. It turns out that didn't happen. -- William -- William Stein Professor of Mathematics University of Washington http://wstein.org -- To post to this group, send an email to sage-devel@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group, send an email to sage-devel+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-devel URL: http://www.sagemath.org
