Description
===========
kovariante is a  C++-program to explicitely compute the 
groundforms  of a binary form. It uses Gordan's  
algorithm as described in the article


	Peter. J. Olver, 
	"Graph Theory and Classical Invariant Theory", 
	Advances in Mathematics, 75, 1989, p. 212-245


It is part of the authors Ph. D. thesis. For more information see 

    http://www.croenihill.de/Diss


Installation
============
tar xzf kovariante-1.90.tar.gz
cd kovariante-1.90
./configure
make
make install


I am not experienced using automake. 
If you run into trouble try to adapt 'Makefile.original'.



Documentation
=============
The main programm is 'kovariante', but a tiny monitoring program
called 'Ktop' is provided as well. Use it to watch the progress of
your computation.

For an introduction to the graphical frontend of kovariante see
README.GUI

Description
===========
TKkovariante.tcl is a TclTk-frontend for kovariante.
If you would like to use it make sure that 'tcl' and 'Tk'
are installed on your machine.

No automatic installation precedure is provided with this
graphical user interface.

Im in no way an expert for tcl. I just started to use it for
this GUI and never used it again. Thus be aware that there
might be some flaws in the code.
(My wife wanted a GUI so I obeyed and  wrote one for the 
 first time in my life.)


Installation
============
After you installed kovariante (configure && make && make install)
you have to edit some variables at the top of the file 'TKovariante.tcl'
with your favourite editor (e.g. emacs).

If you installed kovariante in '/usr/local/bin' line 24 must be

   set PFAD "/usr/local/bin/"

Temporary data is stored in the file 'LOGDATEI'.
If you do not like the current setting try something 
like

   set TMPDATEI "/tmp/thissimyfavouritename":
 

Copy 'TKhilfe.tcl' and 'TKtabelle.tcl' in the directoy 'PFAD'.
You do not have to modify 'TKtabelle.tcl' if you start it from
the same directory as 'kovariante'.
