1. I placed an update to the orthopoly package; you may download it (about
39K) from
http://www.unk.edu/acad/math/people/willisb/orthopoly-0.94.tar.gz
This is a preliminary version; expect bugs. To view the user
documentation, go here

2. Stavros and I are working on some additions to nset. Sometime ago,
Stavros discovered
a bug in Maxima's orderlessp function (bug 776441). This bug is so old
(30+ years),
it has been nicknamed the Methuselah bug. Wolfgang Jenkner proposed a fix for it, but
I don't know if it has been thoroughly tested. Because nset uses
orderlessp to order
set members, the Methuselah bug can cause nset to misbehave.
In short, I encourage those of you that are comfortable working with the
innards of Maxima
to fix this bug.
