comment  Addition for roots mod 1.95.  The function multroot has been
  added to the roots package in mod 1.95.  This provides the capability
  to solve a nest of n polynomials in n variables, provided that each
  polynomial either is univariate or introduces a new variable to the
  set.  The solutions can be either real solutions only, or complex
  solutions.  All solutions to the new examples, problems 117) and
  subsequent, are correct to all digits shown.  As in the prior examples,
  root order and values should agree exactly with that given here.

comment  This test file works only with Reduce version 3.5 and later
  and contains examples all of which are solved by roots mod 1.94.
  Answers are rounded to the value given by rootacc (default = 6)
  unless higher accuracy is needed to separate roots.  Format may differ 
  from that given here, but root order and values should agree exactly.
  (Although the function ROOTS may obtain the roots in a different order,
  they are sorted into a standard order in mod 1.94 and later.)
         In the following, problems 20) and 82) are time consuming and
  have been commented out to speed up the test.
         The hard examples 111) through 115) almost double the test time
  but are necessary to test some logical paths.
         A new "hardest" example has been added as example 116).  It is
  commented out, since it is time consuming, but it is solved by roots
  mod 1.94.  The time needed to run the three commented-out examples is
  almost exactly equal to the time for the rest of the test.  Users of
  fast computers can uncomment the lines marked with %**%.  The three
  examples by themselves are contained in the test file rootsxtr.tst.

         When answers are produced which require precision increase for
  printing out or input of roots, roots functions cause precision
  increase to occur.  If the precision is already higher than the 
  default value, a message is printed out warning of the the precision 
  normally needed for input of those values.$

  difficulty.;
