- Very few, because the ones that were ported to Windows all seem to use
- WINMEM32.DLL, which OS/2 2.0 can't support. But...
-
- 1. Cohen's gp/pari has been compiled for OS/2, and is available at
- math.ucla.edu.
-
- 2. It's conceivable that one could use Haible's CLISP to compile Schelter's
- maxima under OS/2.
-
- 3. If you have C source, you can always try to use emx-gcc to compile under
- OS/2. (emx is almost a "unix emulator", so minimal changes are usually
- necessary unless there's lots of system-specific things going on.)
-
- 4. Best of all, people who have been testing OS/2 2.1 say that Mathematica
- (at least) now runs under Win-OS/2. I assume this will mean that the others
- do too. (2.1 should be out this quarter, I hear.)
