=======================

   Maple Code:
   ----------

      Get_s17odr8a    ---  Driver routine to get s17odr8a.

      Get_s17odr8b    ---  Driver routine to get s17odr8b.

      s17odr8Eq       ---  Define determining equations.

      c7fixed         ---  Given an intial guess to the determining
                           equations, it compute a solution with c7 fixed.
                           (Note: there are 7 determining equations but with
                           8 unknowns.)

      dc23458overdc7  ---  Compute c2'-c3'+c4'-c5'+c8' as a function of c7.

      dc8overdc7      ---  Compute c8' as a function of c7.

      iterndc23458    ---  Compute a zero of c2'-c3'+c4'-c5'+c8' as a 
                           function of c7.

      iterndc8        ---  Compute a zero of c8' as a function of c7.

      ToCheck         ---  Check residual errors of claimed solutions

   Output:  Two schemes s17odr8a and s17odr8b
   -------

   Fourteen Solution Curves: 
   -------- -------- ------

      Fourteen.ps     ---  PostScript file displaying Fourteen Solution Curves
                           to the determining equations for 17 stage order
                           8 schemes.

To Run: 
=======

   After Maple prompt, type   read('Get_s17odr8a'); or
                              read('Get_s17odr8b');

Comments: The code as it is operate use 100 decimal digits, while only
          dump 20 decimal digits of final solutions. To change these,
          please go to Get_s17odr8x, where 

              Digits    and   DumpDigits

          are initialized.
