[seqfan] Re: metadata for Mathematica code

[Neil Sloane]

Wouter, It would be great if you could update your Mma progs.

There are only 95 lines which contain your name and %t.

I will send them to you by a separate email, since this mailing list does
not allow attachments.

By the way, we can do global edits, such
as changing every instance of the words "A B C" to "D E F",
but it is hard to make bulk updates to many sequences

Best regards
Neil
