Dear Forum,

A UNIX port by A.E.Brouwer (aeb@cwi.nl)
of the package COCO for computing with COherent
COnfigurations (aka association schemes, centralizer algebras of
permutation groups, etc) (it was around for quite some time, in fact) is now
available via anonymous ftp from ftp.win.tue.nl at /pub/math/coco/.

It comes with a library of data which essentially allows to construct
the primitive permutation representations of the simple groups
(excluding L_2(q)) of order <10^6, as as few bigger ones.

There are (preliminary) plans to make it a shared package of GAP.

Best wishes,
Dima
