;;; Commentary:

;; The `frimacs' package is intended to make it easier to work with
;; and understand the FriCAS computer algebra system.  It implements
;; four different major modes for the Emacs text editor:

;;   1. frimacs-process-mode: for interaction with a running FriCAS
;;      process.

;;   2. frimacs-help-mode: for displaying help information about the
;;      FriCAS system.
  
;;   3. frimacs-input-mode: for editing FriCAS script (.input) files.

;;   4. frimacs-spad-mode: for editing FriCAS library code written in
;;      the SPAD language.

;; These modes enable syntax highlighting to display package, domain &
;; category names (and their abbreviations) in distinct colours, and
;; give quick access to popup buffers displaying summary information
;; about these types and their operations.

;; Once the package is installed, files ending in .input, and .spad
;; are put into the appropriate mode, and there is an "M-x
;; frimacs-run-fricas" command available to start an interactive
;; FriCAS session.  Look into the Frimacs menu that appears in these
;; buffers to discover further capabilities of the system.

;; Note: this Emacs package (frimacs) can be considered to be the
;; successor to the axiom-environment package.  Currently frimacs
;; offers essentially the same functionality as axiom-environment did,
;; but with all function and variable names changed appropriately.
;; This has been done in a fit of honesty, to acknowledge the fact
;; that nearly all development has been done with FriCAS from day one,
;; and that it should be FriCAS that takes centre stage in future
;; developments.
