This section contains a draft of the Introduction to the
AXIOM book by Richard D. Jenks and Robert S. Sutor.

The axiom-intro.pdf file was produced from the output
of the TeXmacs file axiom-intro.ts using the ghostscript
ps2pdf command.

To access the TeXmacs file, the most recent version
of TeXmacs (1.0.2) is required as well as the updated
tm_axiom Axiom interface program (1.0.2) that includes
the Robert Sutor's "linebeaker" algorithms.

Also included is a scanned copy of the bibliographic
information, table of contents and Technical Introduction
to Axiom from the book itself. The book is currently out
of print and available only a used book from Amazon.com,
however as yet unresolved copyright issues prevent me
from provided any larger portion of the book online.

A new updated and revised version of the book is in
preparation by Tim Daly. The new version will be available
online as part of the standard Axiom open source (BSD
licensed) package.
