To get limited factorization in cases where it is too expensive to use 
full multivariate polynomial factorization, the switch 
<em>limitedfactors</em> can be turned on. In that case, only ``inexpensive'' 
factoring operations, such as square-free factorization, will be used 
when 
<A HREF=r37_0151.html>factorize</A> is called.
