Dear GAP Forum,
I announce, with great pleasure, that the RadiRoot package by Andreas
Distler has been accepted as a refereed GAP package and is available
for download from the GAP Web site.
The following description of the functionality of the package is
taken form that site.
The RadiRoot package can compute and display an expression by
radicals for the roots of a solvable, rational polynomial. Related to
this it is possible to create the Galois group and the splitting
field of a rational polynomial. The package is written for GAP
version 4.4. It requires the package Alnuth and can therefore be used
on a UNIX system only. Beside this the external programs 'LaTex' and
'xdvi' are needed.
