                     The IRREDSOL package
                         Version 1.1.2

IRREDSOL is a GAP package which provides a library of all irreducible 
solvable subgroups of GL(n, q), up to conjugacy, where n is a positive
integer and q a prime power satisfying q^n < 2^16.
This version of IRREDSOL requires at least GAP 4.4.7.

In order to install IRREDSOL, you have to get the package archive file 
`irredsol-1r1n2.zoo', or any other archive format suitable for your
system. It is available for download from

http://www.gap-system.org/Packages/irredsol.html

To install IRREDSOL, move the package archive `irredsol-1r1n2' into the `pkg' 
directory in which you plan to install IRREDSOL. Usually, this will be 
the directory `pkg' in the GAP directory. 

If you already have a previous version of IRREDSOL, that is, there is a 
directory `irredsol' in the `pkg' directory, delete this directory first 
(or move it outside the pkg directory).

You should now have a directory `irredsol' in the `pkg' directory.

To load the IRREDSOL package manually, start GAP and type

    LoadPackage ("irredsol");

at the GAP prompt. If everything is ok, this should print a 
banner (if IRREDSOL is not already loaded) and return `true'.
