I have made an updated version of ODETools available at
http://www.cam.cornell.edu/~sherwood

It fixes some bugs I had inadvertently left in the version I copied
into your directories last Thursday. (Having to do with event finding
and integration in backwards time -- note that the radau integrator
doesn't support integration in backwards time, only the integro
integrator.) Sorry about giving you a buggy version.

It also includes the tutorial in pdf format in a Documentation
directory, as well as a simple example of using Newton's method to find
equilibria and then calculating stable and unstable manifolds in a
simple planar system that exhibits a heteroclinic bifurcation.
(Examples/example3

If you click on the link at the top of the webpage, you should be able
to download the package. You should replace the older version of
ODETools by doing rm -rf ODETools/ at the command line in your home
directory. (Also rm ODETools.tar to remove the old archive if you kept
it.) Be sure to save any scripts, etc. that you have saved in the
ODETools directory. Then unzip and un archive the file with the
commands
gunzip ODETools.tar.gz and tar -xvf ODETools.tar

That should be it. You will not need to modify your mexopts.sh file,
i.e. MATLAB will still use gcc2.96 to compile for mex mode. You will
need to use the makemex command to re-mex any .c vector fields, though.

If you have any problems, let me know.
