DESCR
Originally MACSYMA was developed by the MATH lab group at M.I.T. The 
descendants of MACSYMA (circa 1982) fall into two camps, viz., the
commercialized Symbolics MACSYMA and its successor from Macsyma, Inc., 
and the versions released to National Energy Software Center at Argonne,
Illinois, which are based on the "public" MIT source code for the DEC 
PDP-10 MACLisp system. The latter ones do not have the Symbolics 
enhancements, but they have been modified from time to time by several
individuals or groups. One of these modifications is known as MAXIMA.
It is a Common-Lisp based implementation informally maintained by Prof.
W. Schelter at the University of Texas.
MAXIMA is not public domain code. A license should be obtained from
