Of course you can! I said it and I meant it. I know Florent Hivert,
Frederic Tomazet and others from the Marn le Valle group and recognize
their work well. However I have to admitt that I never was a user of
Mupad, but only a spektator.

I am activlely developing, together with Rafal Ablamowicz TN, a Clifford
algebra package for Maple. When I decided to search for a second option
for our package I went for AXIOM. However, I want not to do a port but a
rewrie of the Maple code, since it has drawbacks. Till now I haven't found
time to do it anyway, ... hm. Inbetween I became a user of SCHUR and would
like to see its abilities to be kept alife, after Brian Wybourne deceased.

Anyway, if I can help I would be at least an user of an AXIOM based
Combinat packahe and could imagine to spend alos some time to keep it
syncrounous with a Mupad version.

ciao
BF.
