Re: Dirichlet L-Functions


Tim Dokchitser's address is now Cambridge: http://www.dpmms.cam.ac.uk/~vd209/

Also, Jeroen Demeyer and I have just yesterday edited Dokchitser's
computel.gp script so that it works with version 2.4.3;  I have
attached the edited version here (which I sent to Tim today).
