#F  BaseShortVectors( <orbit> ) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
##
##  'BaseShortVectors'  expects as argument an  orbit of short vectors  under
##  some  imf  matrix  group  of  dimension  dim,  say.  This  orbit  can  be
##  considered  as  a set of generatos  of a  dim-dimensional  Q-vectorspace.
##  'BaseShortVectors' determines a subset B, say, of <orbit> which is a base
##  of that vectorspace, and it returns a list of two lists containing
##
##  - a list of the position numbers with respect to <orbit> of the  elements
##    of the base B and
##  - the base change matrix B^-1.
##
##  Both will be needed by the function 'ImfPermutationToMatrix'.

##  'DisplayImfInvariants'  displays some Z-class invariants of the specified

#F  DisplayImfReps( <dim>, <q>, <z> ) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

##  'DisplayImfReps'  is a subroutine of the  'DisplayImfInvariants' command.
##  It displays  some  Z-class invariants  of the  zth Z-classes  in the  qth
##  Q-class  of the  irreducible  maximal finite  integral matrix  groups  of
##  dimension dim.
##
##  If an argument  z = 0  has been specified,  then all classes in the given
##  Q-class will be displayed,  otherwise just the  zth Z-class is displayed.
##
##  This subroutine is considered to be an internal one.  Hence the arguments
##  are not checked for being in range.  Moreover, it is assumed that the imf
##  main list IMFList has already been loaded.

##
##  'ImfInvariants' returns a record of Z-class invariants of the zth Z-class
##  in the  qth Q-class of  irreducible maximal finite integral matrix groups
##  of dimension dim. The default value of z is 1.
##
##  Assume that  G  is a representative group of the specified Z-class.  Then
##  the resulting record contains the following components:
##
##  size                     group size of G,

##                           class (only if it is different from q).
##
##  If a value z > 1 has been specified  for a dimension for which no Z-class
##  representatives are available,  the function will display  an appropriate
##  message and return the value 'false'.

##  Nothing is done if the required lists have already been loaded.
