117.0. "MACSYMA available for "nominal" " by UHCLEM::ROSE () Mon Aug 06 1984 16:50
I have recently received this message which may be of interest
to the DEC math community:
Date: 30 July 1984 16:36-EDT
From: Harten.Paradigm at MIT-MULTICS.ARPA
Subject: DOE MACSYMA AVAILABLE FOR NOMINAL FEE
DOE MACSYMA AVAILABLE FOR NOMINAL FEE
This message should receive the widest possible re-transmission.
Paradigm Associates, Inc. is pleased to announce that the DOE
MACSYMA program is available from NESC. DOE MACSYMA runs on the
DEC VAX-series of computers under the VMS operating system, and
corresponds quite closely with the 1982 version of MIT-MC MACSYMA
(the translator/compiler interface work, but advanced plotting
features need work.) Those not already a member of NESC should
contact:
National Energy Software Center
Argonne National Laboratory
9700 South Cass Avenue
Argonne, Illinois 60439
Attention: Jan Mockler
for information about joining, and should inquire about accession
number 9847. We are advised that there are two VAX-VMS BACKUP
format tapes with 40 MB of code: source to DOE MACSYMA and NIL,
object modules, executable images, control and auxiliary
information. This work is supported by DOE Contract W-7405-ENG-48.
Users wishing to contribute programs and codes to the New MACSYMA
Users Consortium, for re-distribution through NESC, may send their
material to Leo Harten, Paradigm Associates, Inc., 29 Putnam
Avenue, Suite 6, Cambridge, MA 02139, or to
Harten@Mit-Multics (Multics mail is no longer case-sensitive).
[This is a volunteer effort for the improvement of the SHARE
libraries in DOE MACSYMA.]

| What does Symbolics, Inc. have to say about this release?
I would imagine they would be very upset, since they are charging
something like $30,000 (to corporations) for their VAX version
of MACSYMA.

| The phone number of Argonne National Laboratories is
(312) 972-2000. Jan Mockler's extension is 7250.
I called there and found out that the "nominal fee" for
DOE MACSYMA is $1798. It can only be ordered by members.
DEC Hudson \is/ a member of NESC (National Energy Software Center).
Our representative is Walter (RDVAX::) Ronsicki.
I have sent him mail inquiring, if by chance, DEC had already
ordered a copy.

Subj: RE: DOE MACSYMA
It has not been brought in-house as yet, but I know of someone who
might be willing to sponsor it. I will see if they are interested. If you have
not heard from me in a few weeks feel free to send a tickler. NESC has been
known to take about 4-6 weeks to process anything (particularly in August when
they all seem to be gone)..Walt

RE: availability of doe macsyma
i recently posted a note concerning a unix (not just vms) version of
doe macsyma available through NESC. in pursuing this further, i find
that in fact symbolics has entered into more litigation to block any
such availability. doe patent lawyers are battling now, and a resolution
is promised "soon". but once again, symbolics succeeds in botching up
a good thing. here at uiuc, we are going to wait a little longer to
see how the litigation resolves --- if possible we want to avoid doing
business with symbolics, just on general principles.
