    For the fundamental group \(\Gamma\) of a flat manifold \(M\) (=a Bieberbach group), the paper gives necessary and sufficient conditions on \(\text{Out}(\Gamma)\) to be infinite. It also compares that result with a previous one due to \textit{H. L. Porteous} [Topology 11, 307-315 (1972; Zbl 0237.58015)], and gives several applications and examples of Bieberbach groups that have either finite, or infinite \(\text{Out}(\Gamma)\), and are quasi-isometric to \(\text{GL}(n-1,\mathbb{Z})\), whose flat manifold \(M\) either have or have not Anosov automorphisms.
