Many thanks for this contribution--it could be quite useful. When I tried to load your code, I got an

error. I tried using both GCL and CCL. The problem is apparently in the function $prepare_for_qepcad:


(defun $prepare_for_qepcad ()
  (setf (get '%and 'strsym) '(#\ #\/ #\\ #\ )) ;; <--- GCL and CCL both think something is wrong here
  (setf (get '%or 'strsym) '(#\ #\\ #\/ #\ ))
  (setq *mtimes_char* *mtimes_char_qepcad*)
  t)


Specifically:


(%i36) :lisp(load "qepmax-support.lisp" :print t)
#<"MAXIMA" package>



*MTIMES_CHAR_MAXIMA*

*MTIMES_CHAR_QEPCAD*
*MTIMES_CHAR*
Maxima encountered a Lisp error:
 Error in CONDITIONS::CLCS-LOAD [or a callee]: "/usr/share/locale/RELATIVE/en/LC_MESSAGES/maxima.mo" is an illegal character name.
