RE: availability of doe macsyma 

i recently posted a note concerning a unix (not just vms) version of
doe macsyma available through NESC. in pursuing this further, i find
that in fact symbolics has entered into more litigation to block any
such availability. doe patent lawyers are battling now, and a resolution
is promised "soon". but once again, symbolics succeeds in botching up
a good thing. here at uiuc, we are going to wait a little longer to
see how the litigation resolves --- if possible we want to avoid doing
business with symbolics, just on general principles.
