-Overview of Singular
-====================
-Singular is a special-purpose computer algebra system for commutative
-algebra and algebraic geometry. The main features of Singular are:
-
- * Computations in very general rings (polynomial rings, localizations
-   of rings at a prime ideal, tensor products of rings) over many
-   ground fields (rational numbers, mod p numbers, Galois fields,
-   transcendental/algebraic extensions) and monomial orderings (all
-   standard monomial orderings, including matrix orderings)
-
- * Very fast standard (resp. Groebner) bases computations
-
- * Polynomial factorization, resultant, and gcd computations
-
- * Large variety of implemented related algorithm: FGLM,
-   Hilbert-driven, Factorizing Buchberger; Minimal resolutions,
-   Primary decomposition; Usual ideal theoretic operations; standard
-   combinatorial algorithms.
-
- * Efficient and flexible communication links based on the MP
-   protocol and library
-
- * Easy-to-use, command-driven user-interface
-
- * Intuitive, C-like programming language
-
- * Extensive libraries of procedures, written in Singular's
-   programming language
-
- * Written in C/C++. Available as source and binary for some hard- and
-   software platforms (including most Un*x variants, MS-DOG, MacOS)
-

-Distribution of Singular
-========================
-The newest version of Singular is always available by anonymous ftp
-from 
-             http://www.singular.uni-kl.de
-
-Binary versions of Singular for common hard- and software
-platforms are available.
-
-Architecture - independent files (such as libraries written in the
-Singular programming language, and the Singular documentation) are
-distributed as Singular-<version>-share.tar.gz.
-
-Singular's terminal i/o is most convenient if it is linked with the
-GNU readline library.
-The GMP library and the readline library is available at
-your local GNU mirrors. You have to have these library
-already installed, before Singular can be linked with them.
-
-The MP library library is available from mcs.kent.edu:/pub/MP/
-For further information on MP, see also
-http://symbolicnet.mcs.kent.edu/areas/protocols/mp.html
-
-The NTL library (Victor Shoup) is recommended.
-It is avavailable from http://www.shoup.net.
-
-The factory and libfac library are available from
-ftp://www.mathematik.uni-kl.de:/pub/Math/Singular/src
