1 Introduction
  
  
  1.1 Overview over this manual
  
  Chapter  1 is concerned with the technical details of installing and running
  this  package. Chapter 2 explains how GaussForHomalg works and what you need
  to  know  to extend homalg with your own rings. Also included in this manual
  is  a  documented  list of the most important methods and functions for this
  linking  process. Anyone interested in source code should just check out the
  files in the gap/pkg/GaussForHomalg/gap/ folder (--> Appendix A).
  
  
  1.2 Installation of the GaussForHomalg Package
  
  To  install  this package just extract the package's archive file to the GAP
  pkg/  directory.  By default the GaussForHomalg package is not automatically
  loaded  by  GAP  when  it  is  installed.  You  must  load  the package with
  LoadPackage("GaussForHomalg");   before   its  functions  become  available.
  Please,  send  me an e-mail if you have any questions, remarks, suggestions,
  etc.   concerning   GaussForHomalg.   Also,  I  would  like  to  hear  about
  applications of this package.
