Description of archive/ordinary files and directories ----------------------------------------------------- The following files (in this ftp directory) contain parts of the GAP 4.X distribution, where X is the the current revision number of GAP (i.e. replace X by the appropriate revision number for the current GAP in the filenames listed below; also XXX, YYY represent versions or dates, and N, where designated represents an integer). If disk space is limited or the network connection is slow it might be preferrable to assemble only a partial distribution from these files. We list .zoo files below (but the description remains valid for the corresponding .zip, .tar.gz, ... archives). Except for the accpkgXXX and deppkgYYY package archives and archives in the accpkg/ and deposit/pkg/ directories, all archives should be extracted at the ``top'' level (i.e. they contain a gap4rX/ directory, for some integer X; a directory in brackets or listed as being contained is a subdirectory of gap4rX/ - so `Contains lib/ ...' means that after extraction there will be a gap4rX/lib/ directory). A + in the category column indicates that the material is not included in the omnibus editions (gap4rX.zoo, gapmac4rX.zoo, gappc4rX.zoo).
