If I may paraphrase what I believe the outstanding question from
Reinhard Goeth is:

	"How can Macsyma work without Eunice up and running?"

The answer to this is that the Macsyma Image is produced (by Franz Lisp)
so as to include the complete run-time part of Eunice built in.  It looks
basically like a core dump (sorry - I really was around when memory was
magnetic core).  It does not require any external support to run.  

The need for Eunice is one of *licensing* not actually having it running.
Since Eunice is built in, Symbolics Inc. requires you to have a Eunice
license or to pay for a sort of run time Eunice license.

Incidently, many versions of Goseling Emacs I have seen, also have a 
part of Eunice built in, but will run on a system without Eunice running.

Hope this helps, since the initial query about Macsyma was mine (at least
this go round).
