WinCoCoA Page
A small group of mathematicians at Universität
Regensburg has developed a special
version of CoCoA for computers equipped with the Windows operating system.
This version of CoCoA
4 has the following new
features:
-
a graphical interface which is identical for Windows
and Unix based systems (using QT)
-
an html-based help system
-
split windows for simultaneous editing and computing
-
multithreading
-
crash handling
-
automatic command name completion
-
a sophisticated command history
Eventually the following
features are also planned:
-
syntax highlighting
-
an xml-based help system
-
autoindentation
If you have any suggestions or wishes on how this
interface should look like or behave, please let us know. The current version is
CoCoA
4.2. You can download it for free.
Attention! CoCoA 4.2 is available at
http://cocoa.dima.unige.it
Older Versions
An older version of CoCoA
based on the Windows interface created by A. Polverini seems to be reasonably
stable. The last version is WinCoCoA 3.7.b
(dated July 21, 1999) and consists of the
following two files:
If you want to try this version, download the two files, put them in a
directory (e.g. C:\WinCoCoA\ )
and unzip them (including paths, e.g. pkunzip -d WinCoCoA.zip). You
can then create a shortcut to start WinCoCoA.exe. Please do not forget
to specify the CoCoA directory as your working directory. If possible,
put your personal input files there.
There is also a version with some syntax highlighting
and other "bells and whistles". You need the two files
This version is also dated July 21,1999.
