Hi all,

Please take a look at http://ggap.sourceforge.net . This is a front
end for GAP. It works on linux and windows (and in theory on many
other systems except cygwin), has menus and toolbars. Also, there is
simple built-in text editor.

ggap has built-in python interpreter and a GAP package for it. This
combination allows interaction between GAP and python (it's not
synchronous, but it's not that bad), so it's possible to do many funny
things from GAP. Basically, there is one main GAP function -
GGAP_SEND_STRING(), which sends given string to ggap and this
string gets executed in python interpreter; feedback is also possible
via simple GAP console input.

So, please try it. Any comments/questions/bug reports are welcome.
The program is very far from being 'ready', yet it's already usable.

Regards,
Yevgen Muntyan
