<Abstract>
The XMod package provides functions for computation with 
<List> 
<Item>
finite crossed modules and cat1-groups, and morphisms of these structures;
</Item>
<Item>
finite pre-crossed modules, pre-cat1-groups, and their Peiffer quotients;
</Item>
<Item>
derivations of crossed modules and sections of cat1-groups; 
</Item>
<Item>
the actor crossed square of a crossed module; and 
</Item>
<Item>
crossed squares and their morphisms (experimental version).
</Item>
</List>
<P/>
&XMod; was originally implemented in 1997 using the &GAP;3 language.
when the first author was studying for a Ph.D. <Cite Key="A1"/> in Bangor.
<P/>
In April 2002 the first and third parts were converted to &GAP;4, 
the pre-structures were added, and version 2.001 was released. 
The final two parts, covering derivations, sections and actors, 
were included in the January 2004 release 2.002 for {\GAP}~4.4.
<P/>
The current version is 2.12, released on 24th November 2008. 
<P/>
Bug reports, suggestions and comments are, of course, welcome.
