 The authors of RAQ would like to acknowledge their debt to the creators of
 RIG, an earlier package for Racks in GAP; chief among them is Leandro
 Vendramin.  RIG was an inspiration for the creation of RAQ, and using and
 reading that package suggested many features needed in the development of
 RAQ.
