Keywords: p-group software

Version 1.3 of the ANU p-Quotient Program is now available
by anonymous FTP. 

This version can be run as part of the anupq share library 
of GAP 3.2 (and later versions).  Much of it is also 
accessible via Magma and Quotpic.

The Unix tar file, pq.v1-3.tar.Z, of the program may be 
fetched by anonymous ftp from pub/algebra/PQ directory on

pell.anu.edu.au (IP number 150.203.33.4) 

The file is also available from /pub/incoming
on ftp.math.rwth-aachen.de 

The file can be uncompressed and unpacked as follows:

uncompress pq.v1-3.tar.Z
tar -xvf pq.v1-3.tar

This will create a directory called pq and needs 
about 1.5 MB of free disk space.

Please read the README file in the pq directory for 
all necessary compilation details.  Instructions for 
compiling and using the GAP package version can be 
found in the GAP manual. 

The program provides access to implementations of 
the following algorithms:

-- p-quotient computations;

-- p-group generation;

-- a "standard presentation" algorithm which permits 
   isomorphism testing for p-groups;

-- an algorithm to compute a description of the
   automorphism group of a p-group.

Feedback and bug reports are welcomed.
