  The Maxima SCSCP service lets you interact with Maxima using SCSCP. To
  connect to this services, use an SCSCP capable client.

  When running this service, five handlers are added:
   - eval: OpenMath input and OpenMath output
   - eval_native_openmath: OMSTR input and OpenMath output
   - eval_native_native: OMSTR input en OMSTR output
   - eval_openmath_native: OpenMath input and OMSTR output
   - eval_openmath_openmath: OpenMath input and OpenMath output

   The OMSTR input/output is a native Maxima command wrapped in an OpenMath
   OMSTR tag.

  NOTE: THIS SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED AS IS!
