??changed:
-1  On all Unix platforms TeXmacs is pre-configured to automatically interface 
with Axiom provided that "Axiom is installed":AxiomDownload and AXIOMsys is 
accessible at the command line (is in the path). Of course this means
-that you have to install "Axiom":AxiomDownload first.
-
-2  On Windows, the "cygwin":http://www.cygwin.com version of TeXmacs will also 
automatically interface with "Axiom for Windows" provided that the Path 
enviroment variable includes the Axiom directory as described in AxiomDownload. 
TeXmacs for cygwin on Windows is installed using the standard
-
-   - "cygwin setup 
program":http://www.texmacs.org/tmweb/download/cygwin.en.html.
-
-3  The "native windows":http://www.texmacs.org/tmweb/download/windows.en.html 
version of TeXmacs does not require cygwin however, it does require the 
separate installation of the TeXmacs-Axiom interface program (tm_axiom) in 
order to run Axiom. A new version of tm_axiom especially for Windows is 
included in the "Axiom for Windows":AxiomDownload installation program.
   On all Unix/Linux systems the most recent version of TeXmacs is 
pre-configured to automatically interface with Axiom provided that Axiom is 
"installed":AxiomDownload and AXIOMsys is accessible at the command line (must 
be in the path). The current interface for Axiom has some known limitations 
when formatting long mathematical expressions.

   "Cygwin":http://www.cygwin.com is a Unix-emulation environment for windows. 
The "cygwin version of 
TeXmacs":http://www.texmacs.org/tmweb/download/cygwin.en.html automatically 
interfaces with "Axiom for Windows":AxiomDownload provided that the Path 
enviroment variable includes the Axiom directory as described in AxiomDownload. 
This path is set automatically by the "Axiom for Windows":AxiomDownload 
installer program. 

   <b>The "native windows version of 
TeXmacs":http://www.texmacs.org/tmweb/download/windows.en.html does not require 
the installation of cygwin. A new version of the Axiom interface program 
(called tm_axiom) written especially for Windows is included in the latest 
"Axiom for Windows":AxiomDownload installation program. This will be used 
automatically by the native windows version of TeXmacs.</b>

   This new interface program is also recommended for use in cygwin. To check 
that you are using the new program, in a cygwin shell enter the command::

      $ which tm_axiom

   If the response is::

      /cygdrive/c/Program Files/axiom/mnt/windows/bin/tm_axiom.exe

   (where the default location 'Program Files' might be different) then you are 
using the new version. Otherwise make sure you delete or rename the older 
version of tm_axiom and try the 'which' command again.

   A new version of the Axiom stylesheet 'axiom.ts' is available in Axiom for 
Windows which improves the formatting of Axiom output. The new stylesheet is 
included automatically if you install the updated version of TeXmacs for 
Windows from the Axiom website 
"here":http://page.axiom-developer.org/wintexmacs-1.0.4.4.exe

   Otherwise to obtain this stylesheet, use Windows file manager to replace the 
existing file in TeXmacs::

      c:\Program 
Files\wintexmacs\TeXmacs\plugins\axiom\packages\session\axiom.ts

   with the file of the same name found in Axiom for Windows::

      /cygdrive/c/Program Files/axiom/mnt/windows/axiom.ts

   On cygwin the file 'axiom.ts' is located in the directory::

      cd /usr/share/TeXmacs/plugins/axiom/packages/session

   Overwrite existing stylesheet with the new stylesheet file::

      cp /cygdrive/c/Program Files/axiom/mnt/windows/axiom.ts .

Troubleshooting

   If you do not see Axiom in the list of sessions then make sure that you have 
installed the latest versions of both "Axiom for Windows":AxiomDownload and 
"TeXmacs":http://page.axiom-developer.org/wintexmacs-1.0.4.4.exe .

book":http://savannah.nongnu.org/download/axiom/book-axiom-intro.tm is 
available in TeXmacs format with embedded Axiom commands.
