Maxima by Example Ch. 9 Update



The  file mbe9bfloat.pdf  has been revised.

The section on the use of bfallroots is new with
a simple example which clearly illustrates the
need the assign values to <both> fpprec and ratepsilon
which "match" in order to take advantage of the
arbitrary precision behavior.

I am grateful to Michel Talon for alerting me to the
bfallroots behavior.

Perhaps the present behavior should be considered 
a bug rather than a feature.
