Dear GAP Forum,

the KANT Group Berlin is pleased to announce a GAP4 package for
interfacing our new QaoS databases via GAP.
Currently, we provide databases of transitive groups (up to degree 30;
basically the same ones as shipped with GAP; thanks to Alexander Hulpke
again) and algebraic number fields up to degree 9.

The package works provided curl (see http://curl.haxx.se/) is properly
installed and web access is granted.

The package can be downloaded at
http://www.math.tu-berlin.de/~kant/download/qaos-gap.tar.bz2
and
ftp://ftp.math.tu-berlin.de/pub/algebra/Kant/contrib/

Documentation has been built from .texi sources (and can be rebuilt using
make doc).

PackageInfo.g is at:
http://www.math.tu-berlin.de/~kant/download/qaos-gap.PackageInfo.g


Query syntax follows the conventions from our web interface at
http://www.math.tu-berlin.de/cgi-bin/kant/qaos/query.scm.

Unfortunately, GAP does not support reals nor floats, thusly regulator
information for number fields is a string.
Nonetheless you can include criteria for regulators in the query, like:
QaosNumberField("deg 2 class 5 reg > 8.3");


Comments are welcome.

Best regards,
Sebastian Freundt
Sebastian Pauli
