  <Abstract>
    The &Utils; package provides a space for utility functions in a variety of &GAP; packages to be collected together into a single package.  In this way it is hoped that they will become more visible to package authors.
<P/>
Any package author who transfers a function to &Utils; will become an author of &Utils;.
<P/>
If deemed appropriate, functions may also be transferred from the main library.
<P/>
Bug reports, suggestions and comments are, of course, welcome.
Please contact the last author at <Email>cdwensley.maths@btinternet.com</Email> or submit an issue at the GitHub repository <URL>https://github.com/gap-packages/utils/issues/</URL>.
