 These programs were written by me to carry out 
some involving (generalized) sato-tate described in
notes.ps. However they can be easily  modified to do
other things (but be careful not to use primes >
8 million).

 The file parameters.h contains the defining equation
of the (hype)relliptic curve and the range of primes.
After editing it, run make to compile the programs
at least on a unix-like system with gcc.

 ratpoints1 generates a list of the form
 p N_1(p) 
 where p lies in the specified range.

 The remaining programs generate lists (in Maple syntax) of 
 numbers which can be imported into Maple for 
 further processing or plotting.

 sin2 and psi generate lists for the 2/pi*sin^2
 and psi distributions. theta and phi generate
 the frequency distributions for the values
 as described in the notes
