10 Obsolete functions
  
  
  10.1 Operations from AutoDoc
  
  The file functions FindMatchingFiles and CreateDirIfMissing were copied from
  package   AutoDoc   where   they  are  named  AutoDoc_FindMatchingFiles  and
  AutoDoc_CreateDirIfMissing.
  
  The  string  function  StringDotSuffix was also copied from package AutoDoc,
  where it is named AUTODOC_GetSuffix.
  
  The  function  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.
  
  
  10.2 Functions for printing
  
  The function 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.
  
    Example  
    
    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)
    
  
  
  
  10.3 Other obsolete functions
  
  
  10.3-1 Applicable Methods
  
  The function 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.
  
    Example  
    
    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
    
  
  
  
  10.3-2 ExponentOfPrime
  
  The  function  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.
