proc changechar (string newr, string c, list #)
USAGE:   changechar(newr,c[,r]);  newr,c=strings, r=ring
CREATE:  create a new ring with name `newr` and make it the basering if r is
         an existing ring [default: r=basering].
         The new ring differs from the old ring only in the characteristic.
         If, say, (newr,c) = ("R","0,A") and the ring r exists, the new
         basering will have name R characteristic 0 and one parameter A.
RETURN:  No return value
NOTE:    Works for qrings if map from old_char to new_char is implemented

CREATE:  Define a ring with name `na` which extends the ring r by adding n new
         variables in front of [after, if i!=0] the old variables and make it
         the basering [default: (i,r)=(0,basering)]
         -- The characteristic is the characteristic of r

            va="T", and if n<=26 then T and the following n-1 letters from
            T..Z..T (resp. T(1..n) if n>26) are taken as additional variables.
            If va is a single letter followed by (, say va="x(", the new
            variables are x(1),...,x(n)
         -- The ordering is the product ordering between the ordering of r and
            an ordering derived from `o` [and iv]
         -  If o contains a 'c' or a 'C' in front resp. at the end this is
            taken for the whole ordering in front resp. at the end. If o does
            not contain a 'c' or a 'C' the same rule applies to ordstr(r).

            like "ds" or "dp(2),wp(1,2,3),Ds(2)" or "ds(a),dp(b),ls" if a and b
            are globally (!) defined integers and if a+b+1<=n
            If, however, a and b are local to a proc calling extendring, the
            intvec iv must be used to let extendring know the values of a and b
         -  If an intvec iv !=0 is given, iv[1],iv[2],... is taken for the 1st,
            2nd,... block of o, if o contains no substring "w" or "W" i.e. no
            weighted ordering (in the above case o="ds,dp,ls" and iv=a,b).
            If o contains a weighted ordering (only one (!) weighted block is
            allowed) iv[1] is taken as size for the weight-vector, the next
            iv[1] values of iv are taken as weights and the remaining values of
            iv as block-size for the remaining non-weighted blocks.
            e.g. o="dp,ws,Dp,ds", iv=3,2,3,4,2,5 creates the ordering
            dp(2),ws(2,3,4),Dp(5),ds

         matrix) into the basering, by applying imap to all objects of R.
         If no 3rd argument is present, the names are the same as in R. If,
         say, f is a poly in R and the 3rd argument is the string "R", then f
         is maped to f_R etc.
RETURN:  no return value
NOTE:    As imap, this procedure maps the variables of R to the variables with
         the same name in the basering, the other variables are maped to 0.
         The 3rd argument is useful in order to avoid conflicts of names, the
         empty string is allowed

proc mapall (R, ideal i, list #)
USAGE:   mapall(R,i[,s]);  R=ring/qring, i=ideal of basering, s=string
CREATE:  map all objects of ring R (of type poly/ideal/vector/module/number/
         matrix, map) into the basering, by mapping the jth variable of R to
         the jth generator of the ideal i. If no 3rd argument is present, the
         names are the same as in R. If, say, f is a poly in R and the 3rd
         argument is the string "R", then f is maped to f_R etc.
RETURN:  no return value
NOTE:    This procedure has the same effect as defining a map, say psi, by
         map psi=R,i; and then applying psi to all objects of R. In particular,
         maps from R to some ring S are composed with psi, creating thus a map
         from the basering to S.
         mapall may be combined with copyring to change vars for all objects.
         The 3rd argument is useful in order to avoid conflicts of names, the
         empty string is allowed
CAUTION: mapall does not work inside a procedure
EXAMPLE: example mapall; shows an example
{
   list @L@=names(R); map @psi@ = R,i;
   int @ii@; string @s@;
   if( size(#) > 0 ) { @s@=@s@+"_"+#[1]; }

proc ringtensor (string s, list #)
USAGE:   ringtensor(s,r1,r2,...); s=string, r1,r2,...=rings
CREATE:  A new base ring with name `s` if r1,r2,... are existing rings.
         If, say, s = "R" and the rings r1,r2,... exist, the new ring will
         have name R, variables from all rings r1,r2,... and as monomial
         ordering the block (product) ordering of r1,r2,... . Hence, R
         is the tensor product of the rings r1,r2,... with ordering matrix
         equal to the direct sum of the ordering matrices of r1,r2,...
RETURN:  no return value
NOTE:    The characteristic of the new ring will be that of r1. The names of
         variables in the rings r1,r2,... should differ (if a name, say x,
         occurs in r1 and r2, then, in the new ring r, x always refers to the
         variable with name x in r1, there is no access to x in r2).
         The procedure works also for quotient rings ri, if the characteristic
         of ri is compatible with the characteristic of r1 (i.e. if imap from
         ri to r1 is implemented)
         This proc uses 'execute' or calls a procedure using 'execute'.
         If you use it in your own proc, let the local names of your proc
         start with @ (see the file HelpForProc)
