Maple is being ported (I should know - I'm doing it).  Almost ready for
BETA testing - any volunteers?  If you are interested contact me by email.  

Warning:  Maple will take up about 4 megabytes of disk space if you
want the full distribution and isn't terribly comfortable with less
than about 1 meg of RAM.  It does quite well on a MegaST2.  

As for final price - should be the same as for the Amiga or Mac: somewhere
around $400.00 .  I'm not sure - I just develop it, I'm not in sales.
