[GAP Forum] Representing groups as linear groups

[Robert Heffernan]

Hi,

Given a group G in GAP (eg. a group from the Small Groups library) is
there an easy way to get the group as a subgroup of a linear group?

I guess I could run IsomorphismPermGroup(G) and then get permutation
matrices for the generators.  Is there a better way to do it than
this?  A browse through the documentation didn't turn up anything
obvious.

Thank you,
Bob Heffernan
