Ooops, that's not correct. There are no plans and there will no plans for
porting it over. BTW, it wouldn't make any sense - there are lots of superbe
math programs on other platforms. These publishers have only forgotten to
consider the GS, and that's why Symbolix exists.
The name has been changed because Apple did not like "GS" in third party
product names. That's the only reason.
And because of the Eureka: we'll call it Eureka til someone feels insulted or
goes to the police station :-))))
