[Cuis-dev] Installing Aconcagua

[Ces VLC]

Thanks a lot, Hernán and Ken! Yes, Hernán, I'll be using Aconcagua classes
for creating variables that have units. And BTW, seeing how Aconcagua
works, it just came to my mind that Smalltalk would make a perfect language
for developing a CAS (it even has big ints)... and then after a bit of
search I found https://github.com/len/Domains which is developed on Cuis!!!
It's very good that a CAS exists for Cuis (well, I didn't try it yet, I
don't know how complete it is, and the wiki seems not to have tutorials,
but it looks promising).

Anyway, that's a different thing, the idea just came to my mind when seeing
Aconcagua in action :-)

I think I won't make meter and other basic units as global objects, I'll
use other names or encapsulate them somehow.

Thanks a lot!

César
