I was thinking as much, but I wanted to ask just to know your opinion as well. I did test the current code with some examples, but I am yet to test it with all of them. So, from what you say, I am planning to include Rational Riccati Solver and ODE test bank (Kamke and Murphy) as the primary items to be done and leave computation of rational solutions for a general 1st order equation as a bonus? Will this be okay?
