StarPrint
Syntax
StarPrint(F:POLY):NULL
StarPrintFold(F:POLY, LineWidth:INT)
Summary
print polynomial with *'s for multiplications
Description
These functions print the polynomial F with asterisks added to denote
multiplications.  They may be useful when cutting and pasting from
CoCoA to other mathematical software.  StarPrint inserts newline
characters (only between terms) to avoid lines much longer than about
70 characters.  If a different approximate maximum length is desired
this may be specified as the second argument to StarPrintFold; a
negative value means no line length limit.

Example

Use R ::= Q[x,y];
F := x^3+2xy-y^2;
StarPrint(F);
1*x^3+2*x*y-1*y^2
-------------------------------
StarPrintFold(F,0); -- this will print one term per line
1*x^3
+2*x*y
-1*y^2
-------------------------------
