Hi everybody,

I am sorry to disturb you again with an AXIOM question. I have AXIOM running
and  when it is starting it displays the following text :

(AXIOM Sockets) The AXIOM server number is undefined.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
   Issue )copyright to view copyright notices.
   Issue )summary for a summary of useful system commands.
   Issue )quit to leave AXIOM and return to shell.

I have 3 questions:

1. How can I connect to axiom ? Can I use some socket connection ? How can I
configure the port in Axiom ?

2. How can I find the version of axiom ? If I use )copyright or )summary I
don't get any message.

3. This is for Camm Maguire. Can you please give me some hints on
implementing a phrasebook for AXIOM ? Are there some encoders/decoders from
OpenMath to AXIOM and vice-versa available ?

Thank you very much,
Dacian

Greetings!  I don't know about AXIOM 2.3 -- is this the last commercial
release?  The open source version available via cvs does not yet have the
openmath bindings to my understanding.  These do not appear difficult to
implement.  If you are in a hurry and want to try your hand before I get to
it, I can describe briefly how it should be done. 

Take care,
