Ah, that sounds pretty good. The ability to re-create source, given the FASL,
will really help.

The original Macsyma was developed at MIT. I think the LCG group at
Project MAC? It was written in Maclisp.

I'm not sure, but Eric would know. For now, notes on his progress are

Good point!

Right, we haven't found sources for everything in Macsyma. I'd say
we're lucky to have it running at all, and also that we have a former
Macsyma staff

FASL? So some of the sources are apparently gone?
Noel
Eric Swenson got the original-ish MACSYMA built and running in ITS.
It's frankensteined together from a mix of source and FASL files from
ITS, Lisp machine Macsyma sources, etc.
