[GAP Forum] GAP package RadiRoot

[Andreas Distler]

Dear GAP Forum, dear Yevgen,

It is correct that KANT works under Windows and those functions of the 
Alnuth package which use GAP only do as well. But the interface to KANT 
provided by Alnuth works under Unix systems only and the functionality 
of the RadiRoot package depends on this interface.

Best wishes,
Andreas
