<body>
<p>
This package was intended to solve Ordinary Differential Equations problems
and also compute derivatives of the solution. It was introduced in 2.1 but is
difficult to use and clumsy. It is completely deprecated in 2.2 and will be removed
in 3.0, to be replaced by a completely new implementation, much more tightly
bound to the top level ode package.
