README file for the `AbelianSystems' GAP4 package
To get the newest version of this GAP 4 package download one of the
archive files
AbelianSystems-x.x.tar.gz
AbelianSystems-x.x.zoo
AbelianSystems-x.x.tar.bz2
AbelianSystems-x.x.zip
and unpack it using
gunzip AbelianSystems-x.x.tar.gz; tar xvf AbelianSystems-x.x.tar
respectively
unzoo -x AbelianSystems-x.x.zoo
and so on.
(Note that if you use a browser like `netscape' for downloading the
archive file the `gunzip' step above may already be done by the browser,
although the name of your file may still have the misleading `.gz'
extension.)
Do this preferably (but not necessarily) inside the `pkg' subdirectory
of your GAP 4 installation. It creates a subdirectory called `AbelianSystems'.
This completes the installation of the package.
Testing the package is possible by invoking
ReadPackage( "AbelianSystems", "maketest.g" );
from within GAP.
You also need the package Modules from the homalg project to run the test.
You can download it from:
