bfunction

 a bfunction b
array a; poly b;
a :  [f] ;  string f ;
a :  [f] ;  polynomial f ;
a :  [f v] ; string f,v; 
a :  [f v] ; polynomial f, string v; 
b is the b-function (=Bernstein-Sato polynomial) of a polynomial f
in variables v.
If v is not specified, the variables are assumed to be (x,y,z). 
b will be a polynomial in s.  This variable can be changed by typing in
  (variable) /bfunction.s set
