                  The GAP 4 package 'RadiRoot'
                  ============================


Abilities:
---------

The package can compute and display an expression by radicals for the roots of
a solvable, rational polynomial.
Related to this it is possible to create the Galois group and the splitting
field of a rational polynomial.

Requirements:
-------------

The package is written for GAP version 4.4. It requires the package 'Alnuth'
and can therefore be used on a UNIX system only. Beside this the external
programms 'LaTex' and 'xdvi' are needed.

Installation:
-------------

The installation follows standard GAP rules.
So the normal way to install is to unpack the archive in the `pkg'
directory, which will create a subdirectory `radiroot'.
