56.16 The XGap Package

XGAP is a graphical user interface for GAP, it extends the GAP library with functions dealing with graphic sheets and objects. Using these functions it also supplies a graphical interface for investigating the subgroup lattice of a group, giving you easy access to the low index subgroups, prime quotient and Reidemeister-Schreier algorithms and many other GAP functions for groups and subgroups. At the moment the only supported window system is X-Windows X11R5, however, programs using the XGAP library functions will run on other platforms as soon as XGAP is available on these. We plan to release a Windows 3.11 version in the near future. In order to produce a preliminary manual and installation guide for the XGAP package, switch into the directory gap3r4p4/pkg/xgap/doc and latex the document latexme.tex. centerlineFrank Celler & Susanne Keitemeier
