                       The KAN package - version 0.97

This is the README file for the GAP package ``KAN''.

This package was conceived as a package for computing induced actions
of categories.  This version only deals with deouble coset rewriting
systems for finitely presented groups.
A more detailed history is included as Chapter 3 of the manual.

The ``KAN'' package may, in due course, be submitted for official acceptance.

Meanwhile, it may also be obtained from the Bangor ftp pages for
Computational Higher-dimensional Discrete Algebra at:
  http://www.maths.bangor.ac.uk/chda/
