  [1m[4m[31m1.1 General aims[0m
  
  Let  KG  be  a  group  algebra  of  a  finite  p-group G over the field K of
  characteristic  p,  and  let  V(KG)  be the normalized unit group of KG. The
  pc-presentation  of  the  group  V(KG) can be computed using the [1mGAP[0m package
  [1mLAGUNA[0m ([34mhttp://www.cs.st-andrews.ac.uk/~alexk/laguna.htm[0m), but for groups of
  orders 64 and more such computation will already take a lot of time.
  
  The [1mUnitLib[0m package is an extension of the [1mLAGUNA[0m package that is focused on
  this  problem.  It contains the library of normalized unit groups of modular
  group  algebras of finite p-groups over the field of p elements. This allows
  the  user to retrieve the pre-computed group from the library instead of the
  long-time  computation.  The  group  created with [1mUnitLib[0m will have the same
  properties and attributes as the one computed with [1mLAGUNA[0m.
  
  The  current  version  of  [1mUnitLib[0m  provides  the library of normalized unit
  groups  V(KG) for all p-groups of order not greater than 243. If you need to
  work  with  groups of bigger orders, please write to the authors, because we
  may already have them computed or can compute them for you.
  
  
  [1m[4m[31m1.2 Theoretical background[0m
  
  Since  the  [1mUnitLib[0m  package is an extension of the [1mLAGUNA[0m package [BK+], we
  refer to the [1mLAGUNA: LAGUNA package[0m manual for the theoretical backround. In
  particular,  Chapter  3  (The  basic  theory  behind  [1mLAGUNA[0m) of that manual
  contains  definitions  of  the modular group algebra and its normalized unit
  group, the power-commutator presentation of the group, and also more details
  about  the  algorithm  for  the  computation  of  the pc-presentation of the
  normalized unit group of a modular group algebra of a finite p-group.
  
  
  [1m[4m[31m1.3 Installation and system requirements[0m
  
  [1mUnitLib[0m  is  designed for [1mGAP[0m4.4 and no compatibility with previous releases
  of [1mGAP[0m4 is guaranteed.
  
  Libraries  of  normalized  unit  groups  of  groups of orders less than 243,
  except for the order 128, will be available in any operating system.
  
  The  library  for  groups of order 128 was compressed using the [1mgzip[0m program
  and,  therefore,  will  be  available  only  in UNIX-type systems (including
  UNIX-installation in Mac OS X and Cygwin installation in Windows).
  
  To work with the library for groups of order 243 you will also need the [1mCurl[0m
  program   ([34mhttp://curl.haxx.se[0m)  to  retrieve  the  data  from  the  UnitLib
  homepage,          and          the         [1mGAP[0m         package         [1mQaos[0m
  ([34mhttp://www.gap-system.org/Packages/qaos.html[0m)   which   provides   the  [1mGAP[0m
  function [22m[32mCurl[0m to work with [1mcURL[0m.
  
  If  you  need to work with groups of order 128 or 243 in Windows environment
  or  you  can  not  use [1mCurl[0m, please write to the authors. We will be able to
  give you a version of [1mUnitLib[0m with locally stored non-compressed data.
  
  Because the [1mUnitLib[0m is an extension of the [1mLAGUNA[0m package, you must have the
  [1mLAGUNA[0m  package  installed.  You can obtain it from the [1mGAP[0m homepage or from
  its homepage [34mhttp://www.cs.st-andrews.ac.uk/~alexk/laguna.htm[0m.
  
  To  use  the [1mUnitLib[0m online help it is necessary to install the [1mGAP[0m4 package
  [1mGAPDoc[0m  by  Frank L\"ubeck and Max Neunh\"offer, which is available from the
  [1mGAP[0m homepage or from [34mhttp://www.math.rwth-aachen.de/~Frank.Luebeck/GAPDoc/[0m.
  
  [1mUnitLib[0m  is distributed in standard formats ([1mzoo[0m, [1mtar.gz[0m, [1mtar.bz2[0m, [1m-win.zip[0m)
  and    can    be    obtained    from    the    [1mGAP[0m    homepage    or    from
  [34mhttp://www.cs.st-andrews.ac.uk/~alexk/unitlib.htm[0m.  To  unpack  the  archive
  [1munitlib-2.1.zoo[0m  you  need the program [1munzoo[0m, which can be obtained from the
  [1mGAP[0m  homepage  [34mhttp://www.gap-system.org/[0m  (see  section `Distribution'). To
  install  [1mUnitLib[0m, copy this archive into the [1mpkg[0m subdirectory of your [1mGAP[0m4.4
  installation.  Then  the subdirectory [1munitlib[0m containing the package will be
  created in the [1mpkg[0m directory after the command
  
  [22m[32munzoo -x unitlib-2.1.zoo[0m
