Dear forum readers,

Paul Brown asks:

Has anyone out there written a routine that interfaces GAP and the
automatic groups software by D. Epstein, D. Holt, and S. Rees?

If not, I will very likely attempt to do so myself, and I would
cheerfully share any successes if the matter is or general interest.

Here is a short answer to the question. Since Derek Holt is a reader
of this forum he might want to give a more detailed answer.

Derek has a new version of the automatic group software called KBMAG.
It includes a GAP interface. It can be obtained via Derek's web home
page http://www.maths.warwick.ac.uk/~dfh/ or from the Warwick
mathematics ftp server ftp.maths.warwick.ac.uk:/people/dfh/ via
anonymous ftp.

With kind regards, Werner Nickel.
