[GAP Forum] Experimental GAP Installer for Windows

[Alexander Konovalov]

Dear GAP Forum members,

Following the announcement of GAP 4.4.7, I would like to inform  
Windows users that I had updated the experimental GAP Installer for  
Windows.
Now GAP 4.4.7 is available also in exe-format from the page http:// 
ukrgap.exponenta.ru/wininst/wininst.htm.

To install the GAP system and GAP packages, you need to download the  
following files:

- ftp://ftp.gap-system.org/pub/gap/windowsinstaller/gap4r4p7.exe (52  
MB):
   The core GAP system with optional components tools, htmie and xtom

- the most recent merged archive of all currently redistributed GAP  
packages packages-<timestamp>.exe (about 40 MB)
   from the directory ftp://ftp.gap-system.org/pub/gap/ 
windowsinstaller/.

If you already used the experimental GAP installer for Windows to  
install GAP 4.4.6,
you can upgrade your system to GAP 4.4.7 installing the following  
update/bugfix:
ftp://ftp.gap-system.org/pub/gap/windowsinstaller/fix4r4p7.exe (16,6 MB)
The procedure of installing this upgrade/bugfix is similar to the  
procedure of GAP installation from the exe-file.

Best wishes,
Alexander Konovalov
