[GAP Forum] Convert MAGMA code to GAP

[Marek Mitros]

Hi All,

Does anybody knows about conversion of MAGMA code to GAP ? I found following
MAGMA program http://web.mat.bham.ac.uk/B.Fairbairn/MainProgramme.txt which
represent .0 Conway Group. I would like to test it but I do not have access
to MAGMA. Translating by hand could be time consuming as it is more than
1000 lines.

Besides I do not know all MAGMA syntax e.g.
m24:=sub<g|g!(1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20,21,22,23),a>;
defines probably subgroup of g.
I observed that in MAGMA function can return more than one variable e.g.

id,pos:=identify(cross);
Regards,
Marek
