Glad to hear it. By the way, what's your RH version?
and did you install from precompiled rpms or did you compile it?

The Xmaxima GUI talks to Maxima through a socket.
That attracts the attention of the MS security stuff.
I'm guessing that the security software has a control
panel where you can change the "Block TCL" to "Unblock TCL"
or something like that.
If you can't find the control panel you might try
asking on a Windows-specific newsgroup.
By the way there is a command line shortcut included
in the Windows installation -- that should still
work even if Maxima/Xmaxima is blocked.
Let us know how it turns out, I'll bet other people
have run into the same problem.
