Did I? I can't remember knowing or saying something to this end, and groups.google.com only turns up some speculation of mine in 2003 that Maple *might* include some Fortran, which was based on the cooperation with NAG.



I guess I got the quote right. Anyway the percentage ws not indicated. 

 Could you point me to where I said something like this?

Can you get the percentage of FORTRAN in Maple ?. Why doesn't Maplesoft 

 No, and I don't care.

monitor the sci.math.symbolic group and visit and assert that Maple does
not contain FORTRAN?.


 Why should they care?

crash to appear. Excessive recursion can caused by a bug and not only by the
input data.

It's definitely a bug. I was referring to the uninformative message, which is not Maple's fault.

Windows 2003 does not produce 2 hex numbers and memory runs low. So Maple
too, can catch the exception and produce something better than 2
hexadecimal number.


 The stack size obviously is different.
