Thank you. I would like to see a comparative review of all the major symbolic calculation programs. The closest I have seen is a rather simple listing of cababilities of programs and the write-up is five years old. Can anybody give a reference where such reviews may be found. BTW, Maple on the Amiga does use color too. But it does only two dimensional graphs and not particularly fast, especially if you have infinite ranges.
