.SH NAME
xmaxima \- graphical frontend to maxima computer algebra system
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B xmaxima
.\" .RI [ options ] " files" ...
.\" .br
.\" .B bar
.\" .RI [ options ] " files" ...
.SH DESCRIPTION
.\" This manual page documents briefly the
.\" .B xmaxima
.\" and
.\" .B bar
.\" commands.
This manual page was written for the Debian GNU/Linux distribution
because the original program does not have a manual page.
.\" Instead, it has documentation in the GNU Info format; see below.
.PP
.\" TeX users may be more comfortable with the \fB<whatever>\fP and
.\" \fI<whatever>\fP escape sequences to invode bold face and italics, 
.\" respectively.
\fBxmaxima\fP is a rather self-explanatory frontend to the maxima
computer algebra system.  Menus provide access to online help in html
format, as well as to "netmath", a web-based mathematical exploration
tool hosted on the Internet.  Plots appear in integrated sub-windows.
A maxima primer appears on startup, allowing the user to execute demos
of maxima functionality with the mouse.
.SH OPTIONS
\fBxmaxima\fP takes no options.
.\" These programs follow the usual GNU command line syntax, with long
.\" options starting with two dashes (`-').
.\" A summary of options is included below.
.\" For a complete description, see the Info files.
.\" .TP
.\" .B \-h, \-\-help

package. 
.\" The programs are documented fully by
.\" .IR "The Rise and Fall of a Fooish Bar" ,
.\" available via the Info system.
