Subject: Solving Riccati DE's with initial conditions?

The contrib_ode package and its subsidiary functions can easily solve a
Riccati equation such as
y' = x^2+y^2
But I can't find any way (at least in the package itself), of solving an
initial value problem; say:
y' = x^2+y^2, y(1)=0.
I've tried using "atvalue" but the answer is still given in terms of an
arbitrary constant %c of integration. Is there something I'm missing
here? None of the problems in the de_test.txt file contain initial
conditions.
Thanks,
Alasdair
