 +   <hidden TTP97-20  Techniques for computing two-loop QCD corrections to b-->c transitions > We have recently presented the complete  O(alpha_s^2)  
 + corrections to the semileptonic decay width of the  b  quark at 
 + maximal recoil.  Here we discuss various technical aspects of that 
 + calculation and further applications of similar methods.  In 
 + particular, we describe an expansion which facilitates the phase space 
 + integrations and the treatment of the mixed real--virtual corrections, 
 + for which Taylor expansion does not work and the so-called eikonal 
 + expansion must be employed. Several terms of the 
 + expansion are given for the  O(alpha_s^2)  QCD corrections 
 + to the differential semileptonic decay width of the  b --quark at 
 + maximal recoil.  We also demonstrate how the light quark loop 
 + corrections to the top quark decay rate can be obtained using the same 
 + methods.  We briefly discuss the application of these techniques to 
 + the calculation of the  O(alpha_s^2)  correction to zero 
 + recoil sum rules for heavy flavor transitions.
