3To get the newest version of this GAP 4 package download one of the archive
4files
5 EDIM-x.x.tar.gz
6 EDIM-x.x.tar.bz2
7 EDIM-x.x-win.zip (with text files in DOS/Windows format)
8and unpack it using
9 gunzip EDIM-x.x.tar.gz; tar xvf EDIM-x.x.tar
10respectively
11 unzip EDIM-x.x-win.zip
12and so on.
13
14Do this preferably (but not necessarily) inside the `pkg' subdirectory
15of your GAP 4 installation. It creates a subdirectory called
16'EDIM-x.y.z'.
17
18To install this package do
19
20 cd EDIM-*
21 /bin/sh ./configure [path]
22
23where `path' is a path to the GAP build directory (if not given
24the default `../..' is assumed).
25
26In version of GAP <4.9 a further argument
27 CONFIGNAME=...
28can be used to describe the configuration name of GAP for which you want
29to compile (if not given "default64" or "default32" are used).
30
31Afterwards call `make' to compile a binary file.
32
33The package will also work without this step but then the kernel
34function `ElementaryDivisorsPPartRkExpSmall' will not be available.
35
36Recompiling the documentation is possible by the command
37 gap makedocrel.g
38in the EDIM directory (edit 'relpath' in this file, if EDIM is not installed
39in the standard location, otherwise this should not be necessary).
40
41You can also run a test of the installation by 'make test'.
42
43You must load EDIM with the command
44 gap> LoadPackage("EDIM");
45within your GAP session to use its functionality.

48would like to hear about applications of this package.
