Yes, I was just discovering that simp:false seems to completely disable
ratsimp(). But I can use this with the following prodedure: simp:false,
enter my exression, get a printable version of it, simp:true, then
ratimp works to simplify the expression. This gives me everything I
need! Thanks to all!
