Actually, I'm writing up the (new) quarterly Axiom report and this
is something we eventually need. I think we could get part way there
with a (latex -> dvi -> advi -> borderless miniwindow) kind of hack.

It was a misunderstanding on my part as I was unaware that MMA files
were ascii. I took the long way around and got the viewer and, while
trying to find out how to use it discovered that I didn't really 
need it.

Do you consider FeynCalc useful and worth the effort to port?
If so, it might make a useful test case for writing some programs
to extract MMA information. There is still a long distance between
MMA and Axiom and, unfortunately, the path travels thru someone's
eyes and out their fingers.
