[GAP Forum] Polenta package accepted

[Charles Wright]

Dear GAP Forum members,

It is a pleasure to announce the official acceptance of Bjoern Assmann’s 
GAP package Polenta for computing with matrix groups defined over the 
rationals, integers or finite fields, with emphasis on polycyclic groups.

An early version of the package has been part of the standard GAP 
distribution for some time. The latest version, Polenta 1.2.1, 
containing some enhancements, is now available for downloading on the 
main GAP web site or at
www.icm.tu-bs.de/ag_algebra/software/assmann/Polenta/ .

Note that the package requires both the Alnuth and Polycyclic packages, 
as well as the external KANT/KASH program, and that it is only available 
for linux/UNIX-type operating systems.
