Documentation, Software, Databases

Below are listed examples of documentation, software and databases authored by Greg Gamble.

ACE Package [ software (1502 KB .zoo file)| manual in HTML format| manual in PDF format (502 KB)| manual in DVI format (384 KB)]

ACE (Advanced Coset Enumerator) is a C program written by Colin Ramsay and George Havas. The ACE Package is an interactive GAP 4 Package developed mainly by Greg Gamble. The documentation is also mainly by Greg Gamble, though some contributions to it were made by Alexander Hulpke and Joachim Neubueser, and some portions of the manual were adapted from the standalone manual by Colin Ramsay.
Can be verified by: George Havas.

ANUPQ Package (pre-release version) [ software (1003 KB .zoo file)| manual in HTML format| manual in PDF format (316 KB)]

The ANUPQ Package is an interactive GAP 4 Package developed mainly by Greg Gamble from a non-interactive translation by Werner Nickel of a GAP 3 version. It is an interface to the C program ANU pq (p-quotient) written by Eamonn O'Brien. The documentation is also mainly by Greg Gamble, though some contributions to it were made by Werner Nickel and Joachim Neubueser, and some portions of the manual were adapted from the standalone manual by Eamonn O'Brien.

MAGMA package for computing defining sets, trades and nests of small t-designs, Technical Report [.dvi.gz| .ps]

Describes a MAGMA package dsgn-package.tar.gz that interfaces with a design completion C program gscad.tar.gz that was used to generate the data in Nests of designs (next entry). The software is complete, though the documentation is not as complete as I'd like it to be. The version here will be developed as a Research Report that doubles as a User Manual. The Tree Search algorithm that is central to the minimal defining set and minimal trade search algorithms uses some group theoretical results that are to be described in the paper following.
To Do:Add definitions, examples, theorems used in the Tree Search algorithm, and an appendix with all functions nicely formatted. Rewrite as a GAP package?

Perl programs

The Perl programs whose man pages appear below were written and documented solely by Greg Gamble. Each gives its own man page when called with the option -h, e.g. docpack -h
Can be verified by: George Havas

doc: run a web browser on local documentation interface
docpack [ download program]: (un)compress files in an HTML orbit
htmlls [ download program]: recursively create HTML contents lists of a directory
mirrorls [ download program]: compile directory listing or compare mirror sites
netmod: modify the current network configuration
setclocks: set both the hardware clock and the system date
