I suggest that we just port stuff there to GAP4. It is a nontrivial amount of work, but some of it is already done by your humble servant and others, see e.g. https://github.com/gap-system/ve (something that I plan to turn into a proper GAP4 package, which is easy, as the porting to new GMP is done) and https://github.com/dimpase/anusq (which even has a crude GAP4 interface now, and the original author of anusq has promised to finish this off)
This package as it is is a swarm of bugs, as e.g. some parts of it rely on very outdated GMP, some of it have GAP bugs fixed in GAP4, etc etc. Cheers, Dima On Wednesday, 9 September 2015 02:10:24 UTC-7, Nicolas M.
