Abstract
In this paper we present a MACSyma batch file that calculates the second fundamental form of a tubal hypersurface of a Riemannian manifold. This program is currently being used to investigate the extrinsic geometry of tubes about totally umbillic submanifolds in a complex space form and is implemented on a Sun 3/60.
