This is completely ALPHA ALPHA ALPHA ALPHA.
It is getting more complete.
Is is mostly for James Noble's enjoyment.

AA -- An Algebra Assistant
Instructions:
a) Extract the tar file into a directory. It will extract
into a subdirectory: 491
b) Go into that directory.
Do:
cd 491
setenv AATREE `pwd`
Some strangeness with _RunScript, etc.. make a couple of absolute path names usefull.
c) Load up a small snapshot from this
NOTE: I've rebuilt my Self binary to accept a trailing '.' on input files.
You may have to scan through some of the load and test scripts for '.'
If you just want my binary, tell me.
d) If your snapshot doesn't include my loadscript code (that searches a path) then
read in loadscript.self:
Self> 'loadscript' _RunScript
e) Load up the code.
Self> 'aa/aa-load' load
f) Invoke a test, say:
Self> 'test8' load
g) Use the left mouse button to select an image. Selecting it
again makes the selection bigger.
h) If you click on the <- button, select something in one window,
`pick' with the middle button, and then select and pick
something in another window, you will perform a substitution.
Substitution code isn't satifactory and is too trivial at this point.
NOTES:
i) icons are found by looking for $AATREE/bitmaps. This is done in
navel/viewManager.self, and should probably be moved elsewhere as
James' original comment suggests.
ii) I've let self-mode.el loose on much of the code. Doing diff -b may
be usefull, but I haven't tried that yet.
iii) I put xBitmapMaker and eventWatcher from the Self distribution in
newerX in order to make releasing easier. They are unmodified I believe.
