The GAP
4 Package
**AtlasRep**
==============================
Description
-----------
This
is Version
2.
1.
9 of the package
**AtlasRep** written for GAP 4,
whose aim
is to provide an
interface between GAP
and databases such
as the
[Atlas
of Group Representations](
http://atlas.math.rwth-aachen.de/Atlas),
which
is available independent
of GAP;
it comprises representations
of many almost simple groups
and information about their maximal subgroups.
The
**AtlasRep** package consists of this database and a GAP interface.
The latter allows the user
to get an overview
of the
database,
and to access the
data in GAP
format.
Note that the package archive does
*NOT* contain the data part,
the GAP
interface accesses the
data on demand via the internet.
To get an impression about the capabilities
of the package,
look
at the manual chapter
"Tutorial for the AtlasRep Package".

Authors
-------
The
data files
of the ATLAS
of Group Representations have been prepared
by
Robert Wilson, Peter Walsh, Jonathan Tripp, Ibrahim Suleiman, Richard Parker,
Simon Norton, Simon Nickerson, Steve Linton, John Bray,
and Rachel Abbott
(
in reverse alphabetical
order).
The GAP
interface was written
by Thomas Breuer
and Simon Nickerson.
Installation
------------
**AtlasRep** is usually contained in the current GAP distribution,
see (
http://www.gap-system.org/Download/).
To fetch another version follow the hints below.
Installation
of **AtlasRep** means unpacking the archive file
in an appropriate directory.
No kernel
module has
to be compiled,
but some configuration issues might be
of interest
before you start
to use the package
in a GAP session.
They are described
in the manual sections
-
"Installing the AtlasRep Package" and
-
"User Parameters for the AtlasRep Package".
After installation you can
load **AtlasRep** into your GAP session with:
```
gap> LoadPackage(
"atlasrep" );
```
Fetching
**AtlasRep** separately
--------------------------------
To get the newest version
of the
**AtlasRep** package download the archive file
(
where `x.y` stands
for the highest available version number)
`atlasrep-x.y.tar.gz`
from (
http://www.math.rwth-aachen.de/~Thomas.Breuer/atlasrep)
or from (www.gap-system.org)
and unpack it
using
```
gunzip atlasrep-x.y.tar.gz; tar xvf atlasrep-x.y.tar
```
Note that
if you use a web browser
for downloading the archive
file
the `gunzip` step above may already be done
by the browser,
although the name
of your
file may still have the misleading `.gz` extension.
The unpacking
is done preferably (but not necessarily) inside the `pkg`
subdirectory
of your GAP
4 installation.
It creates a subdirectory called `atlasrep-x.y`.
Homepage
--------
The [
**internet homepage** of the **AtlasRep** package](http://www.math.rwth-aachen.de/~Thomas.Breuer/atlasrep)
provides
* package archives,
* introductory package information,
* the table of contents of core data in the file
[`atlasprm.json`](
http://www.math.rwth-aachen.de/~Thomas.Breuer/atlasrep/atlasprm.json)
of the package,
* the [list of changes of remote core data files](http://www.math.rwth-aachen.de/~Thomas.Breuer/atlasrep/htm/data/changes.htm),
* a [starter archive](http://www.math.rwth-aachen.de/~Thomas.Breuer/atlasrep/atlasrepdata.tar.gz)
containing many small representations
and programs,
and
* an [overview of the core data](http://www.math.rwth-aachen.de/~Thomas.Breuer/atlasrep/htm/data/),
in a similar
format as the information shown
by the
function
`DisplayAtlasInfo`
of the package;
more details can be found
on the
[home
page of the ATLAS
of Group Representations](
