Contributed code (Was Re: [Maxima] Teaching)



Dear Mike,

We are trying to fix the "bug" that Maxima's command ODE
cannot be used (and it is important indeed, since it concerns
many ode cases, much more than ODE2 according to your
Reference Manual). Perhaps, you have read the recent messages.

Beyond the ODE-related files I cannot also find the following 
five additional demo and usage files explicitly mentioned in your
Reference Manual as existing in the \ODE directory (with links
to them), but the 

The page cannot be found

sign appears after my trying to move to the link as I have
already observed in my previous message:

Do you have, please, have some idea about what is happening
and these files are not present even in your Reference Manual links?
Where all of the ODE command files might be present? In 
DOE-Macsyma?

Any help will be extremely valuable for the possible fix of this "bug".

Many sincere thanks in advance!

I am already really grateful to you for your precious help and support
with the manual and XMaxima.

Best regards from Patras,
