MACSYMA runs on our VAX 8840 here on the Basel University. I don't think
there is a PC-Version, but I'm not sure.

There is a software called MATHEMATICA that does the same thing -- analytical
mathematics -- really amazing stuff -- for PC386, MAC and all the other
computers you like. 

I don't know the producers, but you should find them out easily.
