The ResClasses Package ====================== Abstract ResClasses is a GAP 4 package for set-theoretic computations with residue classes of the integers and a couple of other rings. The class of sets which ResClasses can deal with includes the open and the closed sets in the topo- logy on the respective ring which is induced by taking the set of all residue classes as a basis, as far as the usual restrictions imposed by the finite- ness of computing resources permit this. Requirements The ResClasses Package needs at least version 4.4.7 of GAP, is completely written in the GAP language and does neither contain nor require external binaries. GAPDoc version 1.0 or higher is needed for displaying the online help. Installation Like any other GAP package, ResClasses must be installed in the pkg/ sub- directory of the GAP distribution. This is accomplished by extracting the distribution file in this directory. By default, ResClasses is autoloaded. This means that it is loaded automatically when you start GAP. For further advice on questions of technical nature please see the chapter `Auxiliary functions' in the manual. --- If you have problems with this package, wish to make comments or suggestions, or if you find bugs, please send e-mail to Stefan Kohl, kohl@mathematik.uni-stuttgart.de
