#F StartsetsInCoset(<ssets>,<coset>,<forbiddenSet>,<aim>,<autlist>,<sigdat>,<Gdata>,<lambda>)  generic generator for partial relative difference sets
##
##  Assume, we want to generate difference sets ``coset by coset'' modulo some
##  normal subgroup.
##  Let <ssets> be a (possibly empty) set of startsets, <coset> the coset from 
##  which to take the elements to append to the startsets from <ssets>. 
##  Furthermore, let <aim> be the size of the generated partial difference sets
##  (that is, the size of the elements from <ssets> plus the number of elements 
##  to be added from <coset>). Let <autlist> be a list of groups of 
##  automorphisms (in permutation representation) to use with the reduction 
##  algorithm. Here the output from `SuitableAutomorphismsForReduction' can be 
##  used. 
##  And <Gdata> and sigdat are the records as returned by 
##  "PermutationRepForDiffsetCalculations" and 
##  "SignatureDataForNormalSubgroups" (or "SignatureData", alternatively). The
##  parameter <lambda> is the usual one for difference sets (the number of ways
##  of expressing elements outside the forbidden set as quotients).
##
##  Then `StartsetsInCoset' returns a list of partial difference sets (a list of 
##  lists of integers) of length <aim>.
##
##  The list of permutation groups <autlist> is used for equivalence testing. 
##  Each equivalence test is performed calculating equivalence with respect 
##  to the first group, one element per equivalence class is retained and the
##  equivalence test is repeated using the second group from <autlist>...
##  Using an ascending list of automorphism groups can speed up the process 
##  of equivalence testing.
##

#F SignatureData(<Gdata>,<forbiddenSet>,<k>,<lambda>,<maxtest>)  quick-and-dirty signature calculation
##
##  Let <Gdata> be a record as returned by "PermutationRepForDiffsetCalculations".
##  Let <forbiddenSet> the forbidden set (as set or group).
##
##  <k> is the length of the relative difference set to be constructed and 
##  <lambda> the usual parameter. <maxtest> is the
##  Then `SignatureData' calls "SignatureDataForNormalSubgroups" for  
##  normal subgroups of order at least `RootInt(Gdata.G)'. Here <maxtest> 
##  is an integer which determines how many permutations of a possible 
##  signature are checked to be a sorted signature. Choose a value of at
##  least $10^5$. Larger numbers here normaly result in better results 
##  when generating difference sets (making reduction more effective).
##
##  `SigntureData' chooses normal subgroups of <Gdata.G> and uses 
##  "SignatureDataForNormalSubgroups" to calculate signature data. The global
##  data generated by "SignatureDataForNormalSubgroups" is just discarded.

#F NormalSgsHavingAtMostNSigs(<sigdata>,<n>,<lengthlist>)  find normal subgroups with few signatures
##
##  Let <sigdata> be a list as returned by "SignatureDataForNormalSubgroups", an
##  integer <n> and a list of integers <lengthlist>.
##  `NormalSgsHavingAtMostNSigs' filters <sigdata> and returns
##  a list of records with components .subgroup and .sigs
##  is returned, such that for every entry
##  .subgroup is a normal subgroup of index in <lengthlist> having at most <n>
##  signatures.

#F SuitableAutomorphismsForReduction(<Gdata>,<normalsg>)  quick-and-dirty calculation of automorphism groups for startset reduction
##
##  Given a normal subgroup <normalsg> of <Gdata.G>, the function returns
##  a list containing the group of automorphisms of <Gdata.G> which 
##  stabilizes all cosets modulo <normalsg>. This group is returned as a
##  group of permutations on <Gdata.Glist> (which is actually the right
##  regular representation).
##  The returned list can be used with "StartsetsInCoset".
