Bug Reports
***********

If you experience something you think might 
be a bug in the book, please report it by 
sending a message to cchin@vt.edu. 
Describe what you did, what happened, any error messages
Maple gave, what kind of computer you have, 
which operating system you're using,
and anything else you think might be relevant.
Dr. Chin will respond to you as soon as he can.


****************
Developer's Note
****************

From time to time, everyone comes up with 
an idea they'd like to see how that can be 
implemented in Maple.
If you come across an idea that you think 
might make a nice enhancement to the upcoming versions
of dynamics related books with Maple, 
your input is always welcome.  Please send 
any suggestions or requests for new features 
to cchin@vt.edu.

All the inputs you provide to Dynamics Press, Inc. will
be considered in the upcoming books or packages so that
we all can share with everyone else's experiences.
We offer free consultation for Maple related problems.
Please feel free to contact Dr. Char-Ming Chin (cchin@vt.edu)
in this regard.
