[Maxima-discuss] MockMMA by hmonroe was ... Re: revived mathematica inside maxima

[Richard F. <fa...@be...>]

Well, as far as I could tell circa 2009,  this programmer took my code and
  disabled 95% of the capabilities that I put in it. He then put his 
version on sourceforge
and used my name for it, MockMMA.  What did he do?  He did some data 
structure translation and
attached the parser superficially to the Maxima system  back end so that
individual commands like _Integrate_ worked to call Maxima's _integrate_.

  I think he removed any capability of the system to define patterns
and new functions using the Mathematica syntax.

It is hard to review what he did on a quick trial.  since it doesn't 
load right out of the box,
at least for me. So the claim that it works with wxmaxima is hard to 
evaluate.

I suspect that my problems with mma4max and wxmaxima
  have to do with interference with the naming of input streams or read 
tables,
or some such diddly matter.  Considering that it works with the console 
version,
how much more fixing is needed?

Has anyone listening actually used hmonroe's code??
