I agree, unfortunately. I'd be very very happy if it would be possible to make
SPAD understand a greater subset of Aldor. However, I have no idea how.

Thus, for the time being I write my stuff in SPAD, and I hope I write good
stuff. Meanwhile my program found quite a few -- previously unknown -- formulas
for sequences in sloanes encyclopedia :-)

If I can help with specific things, don't hesitate. I can understand your
frustration very well.
