acknowledgements

We thank the National Science Foundation for generous funding since 1993 for this project, Gert-Martin Greuel and Ruediger Stobbe for the incorporation of their Factory library, Michael Messollen for the incorporation of his Factorization and characteristic sets library, and David Eisenbud, Wolfram Decker and Sorin Popescu for early support, encouragement and suggestions. We also acknowledge an intellectual debt to David Bayer, who, with Michael Stillman, wrote Macaulay, a specialized computer algebra system for algebraic geometry and the predecessor of this program.
