JMath is a text based frontend for Mathematica that is based on the GNU Readline library. It is to Mathematica what tcsh/bash are to csh/sh. If you don't know what these are then you probably don't want this program. The following are some of it's advantages over the default text based frontend 'math'.
o Command line editing and history (via readline)
o Symbol completion
o Filename completion within strings and after << and >>
o Lets Mathematica know when terminal is resized
o Moves cursor to position of syntax errors for easy correction
In order to build JMath you will need a copy of GNU Readline. If you don't have it it can be found at ftp://prep.ai.mit.edu/pub/gnu. Readline versions less than 2.2 wont complete filenames properly.
I have tested JMath on Solaris/Linux/Irix with Mathematica-3.0, 4.0 and readline-2.1, 2.2, and 4.0.
