And it's not too friendly to suppose that that hard work is something they are supposed to do. At least, you could use phrasing that would make it apparent, that you are asking for that, and not giving orders. Yes, you found some useful information, and that's great, thank you for that. So please, be mutually polite! "uni job translating maple to smath and viceversa" is what uni do in the past, I'm not say anything about who can or must or someting else in the futur. That translation is done, and even my english is very limited, and must to search words like "polite" I don't see any un-polite point in my post. And I use "phrasing that would make it apparent" because, precisely, I don't give orders. After uni starts that project, some years ago I ask (and at this time I actually ask, as you say) for change from MapleV4 to MapleV5, just because this other version is more compatible for futur developments, even MapleV4 is the mathcad 11 version. For example: V4 uses `` as string separator, and V5 "", and have a lot of other oddities which make that version very impractical. Can check that reading old posts in this entry. Given that, and the problems about the licence of maple, issues with maxima plugin, and other considerations, I see a good time right now to point to an open source kernel with maple compatibility, and complete, in some sense, my old recomendation, saying that for me is the best option to maple, attending that what was developed can be re-used in a new plugin, hoping that this change from V4 to V5 can show now that was a good choice. Is that enough polite for you? Alvaro.
