# gap3: A minimal distribution of GAP 3 containing packages that have no equivalent in GAP 4

## Description

This package installs Jean Michel’s pre-packaged GAP3, which is a minimal GAP3 distribution containing packages that have no equivalent in GAP4.

Below is the full description from Jean Michel’s webpage (accessed 23 July 2015).

> A pre-packaged GAP3 with everything you need

> To help people who are just interested in GAP3 because they need a package which has not been ported to GAP4, I have prepared an easy-to install minimal GAP3 distribution containing an up-to-date versions of the packages:

> anusq, arep, autag, chevie, cryst, dce, grim, matrix, meataxe, monoid, nq, pcqa, sisyphos, specht, ve, vkcurve.

> These packages have been chosen since most have no equivalent in GAP4. They are autoloaded when starting gap.

> This distribution includes only partial lists of small groups, 2-groups, 3-groups, character tables from the Atlas and tables of marks. It does not include either the packages:

> anupq, grape, kbmag, xgap, cohomolo, gliss, guava, xmod

> which have some equivalent in GAP4. You can get these extra features at

> http://www.math.rwth-aachen.de/~Frank.Luebeck/gap/GAP3

> In this distribution:

- The on-line help includes the documentation of the included packages.

- The html documentation (htm/index.html) also does.

- The manual (manual.pdf) also does.
