Subject: package PREFAG


Dear Forum,

while the original message, with the package attached, is hold for size reasons (48KB, limit 40KB) I am allowed in the meantime to preannounce a rewritten package PREFAG 1.0.3 without the package attached.

PREFAG stands for PRoducts and Exact FActorizations for Groups and gives exact factor groups of a given group and calculates external products including ZS - Products (where none of the embedded factor subgroups are normal in the product). Some help functions are also included.

PREFAG 1.0.3 is a rewritten package, that adds valuable performance options to the original version. The factorization functions can be used now for AllSmalGroups, and, for special cases also above. The external product function can be used now up to a product size of about 100.000.

As I unfortunately at the moment cannot maintain a homepage, the package now is distributed by mail on demand basis. If you are interested on the package, please send me a mail, I will send you an answer with the package attached. Later on the package will be deposited at the GAP homepage at level 1.0.3 and will be available from there. A formal acceptance procedure (refereeing) is also already initiated. It may be, that the usage of the package is for now restricted to Windows users, for the compress format *.zip and for readable documentation, I will supply formats for the other platforms as soon as possible.

best regards, Rudolf Zlabinger
