[Axiom-developer] adding the mod function

[daly]

Alasdair,

1) create the patch

  cd youraxiom/src/algebra
  cp si.spad.pamphlet si.spad.pamphlet.new
  edit si.spad.pamphlet.new
add the line to the file
save the file
  diff -Naur si.spad.pamphlet si.spad.pamphlet.new >si.patch

2) test the patch in a clean system

  rm si.spad.pamphlet.new
  patch <si.patch
  cd youraxiom
  export AXIOM=`pwd`/mnt/linux
  export PATH=$AXIOM/bin:$PATH
  make clean
  make

put some test cases in an input file, say si.input
  cd youraxiom
  export AXIOM=`pwd`/mnt/linux
  export PATH=$AXIOM/bin:$PATH
  axiom 
  )read si.input

if it all looks good to you then post si.patch and si.input to the list.
