    89      ==========================================================
     10Singular is normally distributed as executable program. However, if
     11you tell us a good reason, then we might make the source code of
     12Singular available to you. Please send an email to

    10 IMPORTANT: Please see the COPYING.src file contained in this directory
    11 for license information for the Singular source code.
     16with such a request.

    35 Overview of Singular
    36 ====================
    37 Singular is a special-purpose computer algebra system for commutative
    38 algebra and algebraic geometry. The main features of Singular are:
     26enigma [password] < Singular-<x.y.z>.tar.gz.crypt > Singular-<x.y.z>.tar.gz
    3927
    40  * Computations in very general rings (polynomial rings, localizations
    41    of rings at a prime ideal, tensor products of rings) over many
    42    ground fields (rational numbers, mod p numbers, Galois fields,
    43    transcendental/algebraic extensions) and monomial orderings (all
    44    standard monomial orderings, including matrix orderings)
     28If you do not have the `enigma` command installed on your machine, then
     29you first have to built the `enigma` program as follows:
     30(i) Get the file enigma.shar contained in this directory
    4531
    46  * Very fast standard (resp. Groebner) bases computations
     32(2) run 'bin/sh enigma.shar; make' -- this will create the 'enigma'
     33    program in your current directory
    4734
    48  * Polynomial factorization, resultant, and gcd computations
     352.) unpack the Singular sources with
     36        gzip -dc Singular-<x.y.z>.tar.gz | tar -pxf -
    4937
    50  * Large variety of implemented related algorithm: FGLM,
    51    Hilbert-driven, Factorizing Buchberger; Minimal resolutions,
    52    Primary decomposition; Usual ideal theoretic operations; standard
    53    combinatorial algorithms.
    54 
    55  * Efficient and flexible communication links based on the MP
    56    protocol and library
    57 
    58  * Easy-to-use, command-driven user-interface
    59 
    60  * Intuitive, C-like programming language
    61 
    62  * Extensive libraries of procedures, written in Singular's
    63    programming language
    64 
    65  * Written in C/C++. Available as source and binary for some hard- and
    66    software platforms (including most Un*x variants, MS-DOG, MacOS)

    69 ================
    70 Singular 1.0 is distributed with the following libraries
    71   smallgmp--  A minimal version of gmp written in C only
    72               Parts are (C) Free Software Foundation
    73   MP      --  The Multi Protocol library (v: 1.1.2) distribution
    74               (C) Gray/Kajler/Wang; Kent State University
    75   factory --  The factory library (v: 1.2c) for polynomial factorization
    76               (C) Greuel/Stobbe U of Kaiserslautern
    77   libfac  --  The libfac library (v: 0.2.1) for characteristic set computations
    78               (C) Mesollen U of Saarbruecken
    79 We would like to thank all authors of who contributed these
    80 libraries.
    81 
    82 Distribution of Singular
    83 ========================
    84 The newest version of Singular is always available by anonymous ftp
    85 from
    86              www.mathematik.uni-kl.de:/pub/Math/Singular
    87 
    88 Binary versions of Singular for common hard- and software
    89 platforms are contained in the files Singular-1.0.<platform>.gz where
    90 <platform> is, for example, 'linux', 'SunOS', etc.  See the file
    91 README.bin for more information about the distribution of Singular
    92 binaries.
    93 
    94 Architecture - independent files (such as libraries written in the
    95 Singular programming language, and the Singular documentation) are
    96 distributed as Singular-1.0-share.tar.gz. See the file README.share
    97 for more information.
    98 
    99 In general, Singular is only available as binary program. For
    100 exceptions, you may contact us at
    101         singular@mathematik.uni-kl.de
    102 
    103 The source is distributed in two versions:
    104   1. A full source distribution of Singular is contained in
    105      Singular-full-1.0.tar.gz.  This (gzip'ed and tar'ed) file
    106      contains the source code, documentation, and supporting data
    107      files for the Singular kernel, and for all add-on packages,
    108      i.e. for the smallgmp, MP, Factory, and Libfac libraries.
    109 
    110   2. A kernel source distribution of Singular can be found in
    111      Singular-1.0.tar.gz This (gzip'ed and tar'ed) contains the
    112      sources, documentation and supporting data files for Singular,
    113      only, i.e., it comes WITHOUT the sources for any of the add-on
    114      packages.
    115 
    116 Documentation to Singular is distributed as:
    117 Singular-1.0.dvi.gz      - Reference manual in dvi format
    118 Tutorial.dvi.gz          - Singular tutorial in dvi format
    119 Singular-1.0.ps.gz       - Reference manual in postscript format
    120 Tutorial.dvi.gz          - Singular tutorial in postscript format
    121 singular.hlp.gz          - Reference manual in Info format
    122 Singular-1.0.html.tar.gz - Reference manual in html format
    123 
    124 Singular's performance is best, if it is linked with the GNU Multiple
    125 precision library (GMP), instead of the smallgmp library which is
    126 contained in the full source distribution. Furhtermore, Singular's
    127 terminal i/o is most convenient if it is linked with the GNU readline
    128 library.  The GMP library and the readline library is available at
    129 ftp.gnu.ai.mit.edu or its mirrors. You have to have these library
    130 already installed, before Singular can be linked with them. For more
    131 information, see the file README.src contained in this directory.
    132 
    133 The MP library library is avialbale from mcs.kent.edu:/pub/MP/
    134 For further information on MP, see also
    135 http://symbolicnet.mcs.kent.edu/areas/protocols/mp.html
    136 
    137 The factory and libfac library are available from
    138 www.mathematik.uni-kl.de:/pub/Math/
