--@ Summary:    (1) filename now takes (dir,name,type). (2) Yes, a version of complex.as should work almost as is in AXIOM. 

Hello

2 problems with A# :

1) to construct a filename we say
filename("data","/home/dip/asharp","out") in A#
filename("/home/dip/asharp","data","out") in AXIOM

should be the same , no?

2)testers at INRIA were trying out the file complex.as in AXIOM.
Although this file is not meant to work as is with AXIOM
a very similar  one (with apply -> coerce for instance and
Complex -> MyComplex) should work. Is it possible to check this ?
