C/4 [2-point. These papers refer to an Atlas program that was developed by Jenifer Leech-Haselgrove for solving differential equations in several variables with 2 point boundary conditions. This was to be an enlarged version of a Mercury program developed by CB Haselgrove and A. Gibbons. In 1965 Leech-Haselgrove left Manchester leaving the program incomplete.]
