Re: [Reduce-algebra-developers] package-remake problems

[Arthur N. <ac...@ca...>]

Perhaps the first request is that you email me directly from an address 
that does not bounce when I try to reply. If the one at att.net is 
unreliable then one of the other public systems might be useful. Sorry 
about that but defaled support for you will be way better if we can 
exchange messages directly without ALL of it needing to be via the public 
list.

The issue of !@reduce etc applies in the CSL version and setting !@reduce 
:= "junk"; is not liable to help unless just is the path-name to where the 
Reduce sources live!!!!

Let's exchange private message so I can see EXACTLY what you are doing and 
help out.
