             ==============================================

QuaGroup is a GAP4 package. Its main objective is to provide
functionality for computing in quantized enveloping algebras of 
finite-dimensional semisimple Lie algebras.

REMARK: this package only works with GAP4.3 (and higher versions).


                                Installation
             ==============================================


To install the package QuaGroup move the file `quagroup-XX.tar.gz'
(or any other archive containing it) into the `pkg' directory.
Usually this will be the `pkg' subdirectory in your GAP4 installation.
However, it is also possible to have a `pkg' subdirectory in a 
different place, see the section `Installing GAP Packages' of the 
GAP4 reference manual for more information.
Then simply unpack `quagroup-XX.tar.gz' and your installation is
complete.

                                Documentation
             ==============================================

The manual of QuaGroup is contained in /pkg/quagroup/doc. There are the
following files (among others):

         * manual.dvi       dvi version of the manual
         * manual.pdf       pdf version of the manual
         * manual.ps        ps version of the manual
         * manual.html      the manual in html

REMARKS.

    * The documentation of QuaGroup was made using the GAPDoc package.
      Therefore, in order to be able to use the online help you must 
      install the GAPDoc package, see

          http://www.math.rwth-aachen.de/~Frank.Luebeck/GAPDoc/index.html

    
    *  In the html version of the manual most of the mathematics is not 
       rendered well (this mainly affects the second chapter that explains 
       some of the mathematical background).
