12 Abstract
13
14ResClasses is a GAP 4 package for set-theoretic computations with residue
15classes of the integers and a couple of other rings. The class of sets which
16ResClasses can deal with includes the open and the closed sets in the topo-
17logy on the respective ring which is induced by taking the set of all residue
18classes as a basis, as far as the usual restrictions imposed by the finite-
19ness of computing resources permit this.
20 For details on how to use the ResClasses package, see the package docu-
21mentation in the `doc' subdirectory -- either view its HTML version
22(chap0.html) with a browser, or its PDF version (manual.pdf) with a PDF
23viewer.

26 Requirements
27
28This version of ResClasses needs GAP >=4.9.0, GAPDoc >=1.5.1, Polycyclic
29>=2.11 and Utils >=0.40. All required packages are already present in an up-
30to-date standard GAP installation. ResClasses can be used on all platforms
31for which GAP is available. It is completely written in the GAP language and
32does neither contain nor require external binaries.

35 Installation
36
37Like any other GAP package, ResClasses is usually installed in the pkg/ sub-
38directory of the GAP distribution. This is accomplished by extracting the
39package archive file in this directory. After this you can load the package
40as usual via LoadPackage( "resclasses" );.
41 For further advice on questions of technical nature please see the chap-
42ter `Installation and Auxiliary Functions' in the manual.
