Obsolete functions
Operations from AutoDoc The file functions FindMatchingFiles FindMatchingFiles and CreateDirIfMissing CreateDirIfMissing were copied from package AutoDoc where they are named AutoDoc_FindMatchingFiles and AutoDoc_CreateDirIfMissing.

The string function StringDotSuffix StringDotSuffix was also copied from package AutoDoc, where it is named AUTODOC_GetSuffix. GetSuffix

The function SetIfMissing SetIfMissing was also transferred from package AutoDoc, where it is called AUTODOC_SetIfMissing. It writes into a record provided the position is not yet bound.

As from version 0.61, all these functions became obsolete in Utils, but continue to be defined in AutoDoc.
Functions for printing The function PrintOneItemPerLine PrintOneItemPerLine was used to prints lists vertically, rather than horizontally. Since a very similar result may be achieved using the &GAP; library functions Perform and Display, this function became obsolete in version 0.61.

gap> s3 := SymmetricGroup( 3 );; gap> L := KnownPropertiesOfObject( GeneratorsOfGroup( s3 ) );; gap> Perform( L, Display ); IsFinite IsSmallList IsGeneratorsOfMagmaWithInverses IsGeneratorsOfSemigroup IsSubsetLocallyFiniteGroup gap> Perform( s3, Display ); () (2,3) (1,3) (1,3,2) (1,2,3) (1,2)
Other obsolete functions Applicable Methods The function PrintApplicableMethod PrintApplicableMethod, which was included in versions from 0.41 to 0.58, has been removed since it was considered superfluous. The example shows how to print out a function.

gap> ApplicableMethod( IsCyclic, [ Group((1,2,3),(4,5)) ], 1, 1 ); #I Searching Method for IsCyclic with 1 arguments: #I Total: 7 entries #I Method 4: ``IsCyclic'' at /Applications/gap/gap4r9/lib/grp.gi:30 , value: 36 function( G ) ... end gap> Print( last ); function ( G ) if Length( GeneratorsOfGroup( G ) ) = 1 then return true; else TryNextMethod(); fi; return; end gap> ApplicableMethod( IsCyclic, [ Group((1,2,3),(4,5)) ], 0, 3 ); function( <1 unnamed arguments> ) ... end gap> Print( last ); function ( <<arg-1>> ) <<compiled GAP code from GAPROOT/lib/oper1.g:578>> end
ExponentOfPrime The function ExponentOfPrime ExponentOfPrime was originally transferred from package &RCWA;. The command ExponentOfPrime(n,p) returned the exponent of the prime p in the prime factorization of n.

Since the &GAP; function PValuation produces the same results, and does so more quickly, this function has been made obsolete.
