Installation and auxiliary functions
Requirements

The &ResClasses; package needs at least &GAP; 4.4.7 and &GAPDoc; 0.999 . It can be used under UNIX, under Windows and on the MacIntosh. &ResClasses; is completely written in the &GAP; language and does neither contain nor require external binaries.

Installation

Like any other &GAP; package, &ResClasses; must be installed in the pkg subdirectory of the &GAP; distribution. This is accomplished by extracting the distribution file in this directory. By default, the package &ResClasses; is autoloaded. If you have switched autoloading of packages off, you can load &ResClasses; via LoadPackage( "resclasses" );.

The testing routine
Nothing.
Performs tests of the &ResClasses; package. Errors, i.e. differences to the correct results of the test computations, are reported. The processed test files are in the directory pkg/resclasses/tst.
Building the manual
Nothing.
This function is a development tool which builds the manual of the &ResClasses; package in the file formats &LaTeX;, DVI, Postscript, PDF, HTML and ASCII text. This is accomplished using the &GAPDoc; package by Frank Lübeck and Max Neunhöffer. Building the manual is possible only on UNIX systems and requires &LaTeX;, PDF&LaTeX; and `dvips`. As all files generated by this function are included in the distribution file anyway, users will not need it.
