The differ package is superseded by the solve_rec package
because differ had many bugs. See:
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=844521&group_id=4933&atid=104933
To solve difference equations, please use solve_rec.
? solve_rec
displays information about it.

Many functions in the distrib package have been renamed to give them
more informative names. rnormal is now random_normal .
? random
shows a list of all the random number functions.
? distrib
shows information about the whole package.
Hope this helps,
