P.S. Only if you are using Windows: 1) We strongly advise to use the executable Windows installer for GAP:
http://www.gap-system.org/pub/gap/gap48/exe/gap4r8p2_2016_02_20-18_51.exe which will update all bat-files automatically. Note that the path to the GAP directory should not contain spaces. For example, you may install it in C:\gap4r8(default), D:\gap4r8p2 or C:\Math\GAP\gap4r8, but you must not install it in a directory named like C:\Program files\gap4r8 or C:\Users\alice\My Documents\gap4r8 etc. 2) In GAP 4.8.2 for Windows, there are no compiled binaries for the Browse package and there is no readline support. We hope to fix this in GAP 4.8.3 3) There is an experimental 64-bit version of GAP for Windows, also available from http://www.gap-system.org/Releases/. As it is experimental, some packages may not work there. To install it, you need to unzip the archive and adjust *.bat files manually. We will be interested to hear any feedback about its usability.
