  Sorry, I was away on a business trip.

There is a save/restore facility (see the Jenks book, volume 0 at
http://axiom-developer.org/axiom-website/documentation.html)

You cannot interrupt a long running computation, save it, and then
restore it and continue. Break the computation in parts and do
save/restore at the parts. You could write an input file to do
checkpoint saves after each part completes.
