Procedures:

D.5.15.1 blowUp		computes the blowing up of the variety V(J) (considered as embedded in V(W)) in the (smooth) center V(C),
D.5.15.2 blowUp2		computes the blowing up of the variety V(J) in the (possibly singular) center V(C)
D.5.15.3 Center		computes 'Villamayor'-center for blow up
D.5.15.4 resolve		computes the desingularization of the variety V(J)
D.5.15.5 showBO		prints the content of a BO in more human readable form
D.5.15.6 presentTree		prints the final charts in more human readable form
D.5.15.7 showDataTypes		prints help text for output data types
D.5.15.8 blowUpBO		computes the blowing up of the variety V(BO[1]) in the center V(C). BO is a list (basic object), C is an ideal
D.5.15.9 createBO		creates basic object from input data
D.5.15.10 CenterBO		computes the center for the next blow-up of the given basic object
D.5.15.11 Delta		apply the Delta-operator of [Bravo,Encinas,Villamayor]
D.5.15.12 DeltaList		list of results of Delta^0 to Delta^bmax
