== Description ==
The software package Frobby provides a number of computations on
monomial ideals. The current main feature is the socle of a monomial
ideal, which is largely equivalent to computing the maximal standard
monomials, the Alexander dual or the irreducible decomposition.

Operations on monomial ideals are much faster than algorithms designed
for ideals in general, which is what makes a specialized library for
these operations on monomial ideals useful.

Download Frobby at www.broune.com/ and then type "make spkg VER=blah" which wil create an spkg
named frobby-VER.spkg in bin/. The files related to doing this is in the sage/ sub-directory of the
Frobby source distribution.
