17:29 CoCoALib Bug #935: ElimMat, ElimHomogMat: complain about zero or negative weights
- It seems that the weights must be integer. This should be documented!
-
- The fns @ElimMat@ and @ElimHomogMat@ should give error if the user supplies weights are not strictly positive (intege...

19:01 CoCoALib Design #822: Should ElimMat return a ConstMatrix

Oops!
What to do?

-
- The code in @symbol.C:392@ which would call the NYI fn @ReadSymbolRange@ looks to be wrong to me.
