I have  seen that  you got some  reply dealing with  problems possibly
stemming from using Windows rather than Unix. 

However  for me  the main  problem  is that  I do  not understand  the
mathematical  problem  that you  are  dealing  with.   What are  'Self
Connected' and  'H-Connected' transversals of  a subgroup of  a finite
group? These terms  are not standard, I have  never heard them.  Could
you  provide definitions  of these  terms, give  references  to papers
where they  are used, and  could you tell  for which groups  and which
subgroups you want to do the  computation? Only then there is a chance
that we may be able to really give you some advice.

With kind regards     Joachim Neubueser
