<Heading>What is the idea of PolymakeInterface</Heading>

 PolymakeInterface is an GAP-Package that provides a link to the callable library
 of the CAS polymake. It is not supposed to do any work by itself, but to provide
 the methods in polymake to GAP.
 All the functions in this package are supposed to be capsuled by functions
 in the Convex package, which provides needed structures and datatypes.
 Also the functions the have nicer names.
 This fact also causes that there are no doumentations for functions in this package.
 To get an overview about the supported functions, one might look at the polymake_main.cpp file
 or simply message the author.
 Working with this package alone without Convex is not recommended.
