desolve + ode problems



Hi All

problems with desolve [and ode]. Using desolve I get a useless looking solution:

			     1
		   2 LAPLACE(-, x, LVAR) SIN(3 y) - 3 y(0) COS(3 y)
			     x
(D46) y(x) = ILT(- ------------------------------------------------, 
				   3 LVAR COS(3 y)

								LVAR, x)

The actual DE solution is x^2*sin(3y)=constant

I can get close to this [close enough anyway] using ode2: gives

			   LOG(SIN(3 y))
(D3) 			 - ------------- = LOG(x) + %C
				 2
But is it possible to get something out of desolve that looks OK??
And
ode
appears to be dead in the water. No response. Checked directories--there is no ode file anywhere. Also doesn't appear to be on Maxima web site source share directories. Any clues?

kind regards
Stephen
