I seem to have misplaced my copies of muMath and muLisp for
the Apple II. If anyone would like to sell their old ones
to me, please let me know. The CP/M version would also be
of interest. If all else fails, I could live with the
PC-DOS version, but I don't want Derive (the product that
replaced muMath).
Thanks!

I didn't know there was an Apple version! I am now more interested in
finding a copy than selling one to you. :) However, the CP/M version of
MuMath is available from:
http://deltasoft.fife.wa.us/cpm/
(a very useful site!) I don't know where you can get MuLisp.
BTW, do you know anything about how Derive/MuMath/MuLISP are implemented?
(general ideas, source code, implementation tricks, etc.) They are very
good as small computer-algebra systems.

I asked about buying a copy of muMath for the Apple ][.

Great. Thanks. :-)
The Apple ][ version came with its own operating system, ADIOS (Apple
Disk I/O System). It was a CP/M-like OS but ran on the 6502 (no Z-80
card required).
According to one of the authors, the the Apple ][ versions of muMath and
muSimp were created by taking the interpreter source code for the 8086
version, and doing a translation of each 8086 instruction into a sequence
of 6502 instructions. The 8086 registers were in the 6502's zero page.
As you might expect, this approach didn't exactly yield blazing speed.

BTW, regarding old soft, I stumbled across a real nice article:

P.S.: I'm off the list for the next two weeks (trip to moscow).
