  <expand|tmdoc-title|Maxima>

  <name|Maxima> is not alone one of the oldest and best computer algebra
  systems around, it is also one of the only general purpose systems for
  which there is a free implementation. You can get it from\ 

  <\verbatim>
    \ \ \ \ http://www.ma.utexas.edu/users/wfs/maxima.html
  </verbatim>

  The supported version is <name|GCL>-based <name|Maxima> 5.6. For
  <name|CLisp>-based <name|Maxima> 5.6, edit your <verbatim|tm_maxima> and
  replace <verbatim|-load> by <verbatim|-i>. For <name|Maxima> 5.9-pre,
  replace <verbatim|-load> by <verbatim|-p>. Known problems:

  <\itemize>
    <item>If you press <key|<key-return>> when a statement is not
    complete (typically, terminated by <verbatim|;> or <verbatim|$>), the
    interface will hang.

    <item>If you cause the Lisp break prompt to appear, the interface will
    hang.

    <item>The command <verbatim|info> is not supported (it is defined in the
    underlying Lisp, and difficult to support portably).

    <item>Some commands in the debugger work, but some (including
    <verbatim|:c>) don't work, nobody knows why.

    <item>The command <verbatim|load> sometimes behaves mysteriously.
