2                           ------------------
3
4The Sophus package  is written to compute with  nilpotent Lie algebras
5over  finite prime  fields. Using  this package,  you can  compute the
6cover, the  list of immediate descendants, and  the automorphism group
7of such Lie  algebras. You can also test if two  such Lie algebras are
8isomorphic.

10The  immediate descendant  function  of  the package  can  be used  to
11classify  small-dimensional  nilpotent   Lie  algebras  over  a  given
12field. For  instance, the package author obtained  a classification of
13nilpotent  Lie  algebras  with  dimension  at most  9  over  F_2.

31                     Installing the Sophus package
32                     ------------------------------
33
34To install the  Sophus package, move the archive  file 'sophus.tar.gz'
35into the `pkg' directory  in which you plan to install
36Sophus.  Usually, this will be the directory `pkg' in the hierarchy of
37your  version of  GAP 4.  (However,  it is  also possible  to keep  an
38additional `pkg'  directory in  your private directories,  see section
39"ref:Installing  GAP  Packages" of  the  GAP  4  reference manual  for
40details on how  to do this.)  Then unpack the  archive file and that's
41it!
42
43Please remember that  if you want to use Sophus  then you'll also need
44to install Version >= 1.2 of the AutPGrp package.
