Your email was very helpful. By the way, I just checked on the downloads that UW provides of the latest versions of the Ma's (for Linux). They are *big*. (1) Maple.... 2.5GB (2) Mathematica ..... 1.2GB (3) Matlab.... 5.2GB For comparison, Sage for this computer is 456MB. -- William -- To post to this group, send an email to [email protected] To unsubscribe from this group, send an email to [email protected] For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-devel URL: http://www.sagemath.org
