+cat << EOF
+Maxima is a Common Lisp implementation of MIT's Macsyma system for computer based algebra. Maxima is now about to be released under the GNU Public License.
+
+    * Plotting via netmath over the network.
+    * Computations over network
+    * Well tested on a large array of problems.
+    * Source level Debugger for maxima code
+    * Documentation available as html, or texinfo and so info, and so dvi and postscript.
+    * Latest source development version available or look here for how to download using cvs.
+    * Easy to extend in fundamentally new ways, because you have complete access to source, and access to Common Lisp.
+    * Portable to many systems.
+    * Now covered by GNU public license, so it will stay free.
+    * Was the first computer algebra system, and is one of the best.
+    * It is possible to evaluate forms from web pages in local maxima or in remote ones. Also to access pari, octave, and gap from netmath.
