- \centerline{\bf Jacal Release Notes}\par
-
- Using divide to divide a polynomial by an integer is busted.
-
- The command {\bf eliminate} only performs correctly when the number of
- variables to eliminate is one less than the number of equations.
- In the future, the eliminate command will be enhanced by the use of Groebner
- basis calculations which will allow more general elimination problems to
- be handled.
-
- One cannot at the present time use {\bf factor} to factor general
- polynomials. It does some but not all.
-
- The command {\bf example} apparently executes the example it gives. This
- can lead to unpredictable results if the variables and constants in the
- example have already been given values by the user.
-
- The function {\bf minor} should be modified to accept lists for $<row>$
- and $<col>$.
-
- Resultant might be modified to
- compute the resultant of a system of polynomials with respect
- to a list of variables.
