Thanks for the response Max,The matrices are over GF(2), so hopefully they can
be managed more efficiently than generic matrices.R.N

To get a better feeling for your problem: How large are you matrices? Over
which ring are they defined?

One way to achieve this would be to use the IO_Pickle / IO_Unpickle functions
from the GAP IO package. You can finde an example of using them here:
<http://www.gap-system.org/Manuals/pkg/io-4.4.6/doc/chap10.html#X81BD8400832EE20B>.

Hope that helps,
Max
