| [7] | 1 | Dear User: |

|  | 3 | This archive contains 2 files which provide Grobner basis support for the | 
|---|
|  | 4 | free computer algebra system Maxima. In order to use the package, start your | 
|---|
|  | 5 | Maxima and put it in the lisp mode (on most systems, CTRL-C will do this), | 
|---|
|  | 6 | and execute the following commands: | 
|---|
|  | 7 |  | 
|---|
|  | 8 | (compile-file "grobner.lisp") | 
|---|
|  | 9 | (load "grobner.fasl") | 
|---|
|  | 10 |  | 
|---|
|  | 11 | The .fasl extension may need to be replaced with a Lisp-specific | 
|---|
|  | 12 | extension for some lisp implementations. | 
|---|
|  | 13 |  | 
|---|
|  | 14 | It should also be possible to compile and load from the Maxima prompt: | 
|---|
|  | 15 |  | 
|---|
|  | 16 | compile_file("grobner.lisp"); | 
|---|
|  | 17 | load("grobner.fasl"); | 
|---|
|  | 18 |  | 
|---|
| [8] | 19 | This version has been verified to work under Maxima 5.16.3, using SBCL. | 
|---|
| [9] | 20 | It should also be portable across other ANSI Common Lisp implementations. | 
|---|
| [8] | 21 |  | 
|---|
| [7] | 22 | The file grobner.demo is a Macsyma-style demo file for most of the operations | 
|---|
|  | 23 | provided by the package. In order to run it, go to the Maxima level and | 
|---|
|  | 24 | type: | 
|---|
|  | 25 |  | 
|---|
|  | 26 | demo("grobner.demo"); | 
|---|
|  | 27 |  | 
|---|
|  | 28 | or | 
|---|
|  | 29 |  | 
|---|
|  | 30 | batch("grobner.demo"); | 
|---|
|  | 31 |  | 
|---|
|  | 32 | and watch the demonstration. | 
|---|
|  | 33 |  | 
|---|
|  | 34 | Maxima documentation for this package has not been written yet, but | 
|---|
|  | 35 | there is a sizable amount of documentation in the LISP source. | 
|---|
|  | 36 |  | 
|---|
|  | 37 |  | 
|---|
|  | 38 | The file grobner.lisp was constructed by a semi-automatic | 
|---|
|  | 39 | process from the sources of a package CGBlisp, version 2 also authored by | 
|---|
|  | 40 | me, which will eventually be released at my Web site (see below). | 
|---|
|  | 41 | An older version of CGBlisp is available at the Web site. | 
|---|
|  | 42 |  | 
|---|
|  | 43 | Enjoy. |
