Introduction
The development package msctDevelopment.tar.gz is unpacked by
tar -xvvzf msctDevelopment.tar.gz to a superset of the files that comprise
the distribution package msctDistribution.tar.gz. The content of this su-
perset and its organization in a hierarchy of directories facilitate a rapid and
rigorous test of the effect of changes to the package and to the supporting ma-
terial.
When we began to develop the mathscout package, we had to check the
effects of changes to the mathscout functions, to the test data and to the
documentation by laborious cutting and pasting into interactive mathematica
sessions that took about an hour. The material in the development package
provide a completely automated process that takes about three minutes. This
