        !             2:                 ANNOUNCEMENT OF THE PARI-2.1 RELEASE
        !             3:
        !             4: This message is to announce the release of version 2.1 of the PARI/GP system.
        !             5:
        !             6: PARI / GP  is a package which is aimed at efficient computations in number
        !             7: theory, but also contains a large number of other useful functions.  It is
        !             8: somewhat related to a Computer Algebra System, but is not really one since
        !             9: it treats symbolic expressions as mathematical entities such as  matrices,
        !            10: polynomials, series, etc..., and not as expressions per se.  However it is
        !            11: often much faster than other CAS,  and contains a large number of specific
        !            12: functions not found elsewhere, essentially for use in number theory.
        !            13:
        !            14: This package can be used in an interactive shell (GP) or as a C/C++ library
        !            15: (PARI). It is free software, in the sense of freedom AND 'free of charge'.
