SHEEP

A package for {symbolic mathematics},

especially {tensor analysis} and General Relativity, developed

by Inge Frick in Stockholm in the late 1970s to early 1980s.

SHEEP was implemented in {DEC-10} {assembly language}, then in

several {LISPs}. The current version runs on {Sun}-3 and is

based on {Portable Standard LISP}.
