Well, basically there was a maxima.README file on the FTP site that said that the organization who was providing licenses (I forget the name) isn't offering them anymore. I don't know the details on this, but it doesnt seem that anyone has much interest in this port... Whoever originally submitted it, is no longer a MAINTAINER. I was going to take it over and upgrade it to 5.2, but I saw that licensing thing, and it won't compile out of the box. I'm not very familiar with gcl, so I couldn't get it to work. Anyway, it just seems like it's not worth keeping around unless we have people who are actively using it. TTYL, -Justin Seger-
