[Axiom-math] PAFF package question

[David Joyner]

Resend - sorry, in the previous post I messed up the subject line.

Hello:

Does anyone on this list know about the PAFF package for AXIOM
written by Gaétan Haché? It does Brill-Noether computations, Riemann-Roch
computations, etc.

No, is it available?

There is a web page for it
http://www-rocq.inria.fr/codes/Gaetan.Hache/PAFF.html
but I don't know enough about AXIOM to know if it actually works.
I've been unable to contact the author.

David,

Thanks for pointing this out.

I don't know anything about the mathematics but, yes the package
seems to work as documented by the author. See

http://wiki.axiom-developer.org/SandBoxPAFF

It's also in my /home directory on sage.math.washington.edu so you should
be able run it like this:

sage -axiom
(1) -> )cd /home/page/PAFF/examples
(1) -> )lib )dir ../spad
(1) -> )lib )dir ../spad
(1) -> )read example1
