Dear GAP Forum, We are happy to announce a beta-release (0.9) of the new GAP 4 package "Browse".
The focus of this package is the interactive display of two-dimensional arrays of data, for example character tables, on text terminals. The package provides a low level interface to the C library ncurses. This allows for handling windows displaying text with some markup and colors, using the available capabilities of a terminal. Based on this, the GAP function NCurses.BrowseGeneric deals with displaying two-dimensional arrays of data, handles labels for rows and columns, searching, sorting, binding keys to actions, ... Finally, there are several applications of this function, including a method for browsing character tables, several games, and an interface for demos. More information and the package archive can be found in http://www.math.rwth-aachen.de/~Browse/ (and soon in the usual location under www.gap-system.org as well). If you are using the rsync Linux distribution from http://www.math.rwth-aachen.de/RsyncLinuxGAP/index.html you just need to call 'gapsync'. Comments about this package are welcome. With "beta-"release we mean that we may change some details for a version 1.x, depending on your comments. Kind regards, Thomas Breuer and Frank Lübeck _______________________________________________ Forum mailing list Forum@mail.gap-system.org http://mail.gap-system.org/mailman/listinfo/forum
