Okay. Here is what will work.
The package loading mechanism has changed so my quick hack
to create a package from Maagard et al's files will not work
now. I'll try to fix it eventually when I have time...
1. Download and extract Maagard's tarball anywhere, say to
/Users/me/gapfiles/braid
(so /Us
I posted a new version of the braid package at
http://www.opensourcemath.org/braid/
If you extract it in sage*/local/lib/gap*/pkg and then start GAP
by sage -gap, then it loads using
gap> LoadPackage("braid");

I'd like to do it this way, running everything through sage, but it
doesn't work. Here is what I'm getting:
sage: g = SymmetricGroup(3)
sage: t = [(2,1),(2,1)]
sage: gap.Braid(g,t)
