The octic-solving algorithm in which this work culminates runs as a Mathematica notebook.

• OcticSolve.nb

The files used by the algorithms in the notebooks are:

• Defns.txt---various definitions and functions
• S8Defns.txt---more definitions and functions
• Active ingredients in 4-map and root-selection
  • FaK2.txt
  • FaK3.txt
  • GammaK.txt
  • TaK.txt

These files come in two flavors:

• the self-extracting octic.exe (51KB)
• the compressed octic.zip (26KB)

Save and execute or unzip the archive; then alter the first cell of the notebook to agree with your directory structure.
