  [1XAbstract[101X
  [33X[0;0YThe   title  ``[5XLAGUNA[105X''  stands  for  ``[12XL[112Xie  [12XA[112Xl[12XG[112Xebras  and  [12XUN[112Xits  of  group
  [12XA[112Xlgebras''.  This  is  the  new  name of the [5XGAP[105X4 package [5XLAG[105X, which is thus
  replaced by [5XLAGUNA[105X.[133X
  
  [33X[0;0Y[5XLAGUNA[105X  extends  the  [5XGAP[105X  functionality  for  computations  in group rings.
  Besides  computing some general properties and attributes of group rings and
  their  elements,  [5XLAGUNA[105X  is able to perform two main kinds of computations.
  Namely,  it  can  verify whether a group algebra of a finite group satisfies
  certain Lie properties; and it can calculate the structure of the normalized
  unit  group  of  a  group  algebra  of  a finite [22Xp[122X-group over the field of [22Xp[122X
  elements.[133X

  [1XAcknowledgements[101X
  [33X[0;0YSome of the features of [5XLAGUNA[105X were already included in the [5XGAP[105X4 package [5XLAG[105X
  written  by  the  third  author, Richard Rossmanith. The three other authors
  first  would like to thank Greg Gamble for maintaining [5XLAG[105X and for upgrading
  it from version 2.0 to version 2.1, and Richard Rossmanith for allowing them
  to  update  and  extend  the  [5XLAG[105X  package. We are also grateful to Wolfgang
  Kimmerle  for  organizing  the workshop ``Computational Group and Group Ring
  Theory''  (University of Stuttgart, 28--29 November, 2002), which allowed us
  to  meet  and  have  fruitful  discussions that led towards the final [5XLAGUNA[105X
  release.[133X
  
  [33X[0;0YWe  are  all  very  grateful  to the members of the [5XGAP[105X team: Thomas Breuer,
  Willem  de Graaf, Alexander Hulpke, Stefan Kohl, Steve Linton, Frank Lübeck,
  Max Neunhöffer and many other colleagues for helpful comments and advise. We
  acknowledge very much Herbert Pahlings for communicating the package and the
  referee for careful testing [5XLAGUNA[105X and useful suggestions.[133X
  
  [33X[0;0YA  part  of  the  work  on  upgrading  [5XLAG[105X to [5XLAGUNA[105X was done in 2002 during
  Alexander   Konovalov's   visits  to  Debrecen,  St  Andrews  and  Stuttgart
  Universities.  He  would like to express his gratitude to Adalbert Bovdi and
  Victor  Bovdi,  Colin  Campbell, Edmund Robertson and Steve Linton, Wolfgang
  Kimmerle, Martin Hertweck and Stefan Kohl for their warm hospitality, and to
  the  NATO Science Fellowship Program, to the London Mathematical Society and
  to the DAAD for the support of these visits.[133X
