### 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.

Any package author who transfers a function to Utils will become an author of Utils.

If deemed appropriate, functions may also be transferred from the main library.

Bug reports, suggestions and comments are, of course, welcome. Please contact the last author at c.d.wensley@bangor.ac.uk or submit an issue at the GitHub repository https://github.com/gap-packages/utils/issues/.
