Review text

The algorithm that has been used by the author for the complete classification of all (56092) groups of order 256 (up to isomorphism) was proposed by \textit{M. F. Newman} [Lect. Notes Math. 573, 73-84 (1977; Zbl 0519.20018)]. The author has described this algorithm and an implementation in detail in a previous paper [J. Symb. Comput. 9, 677-698 (1990; Zbl 0736.20001)]. This paper gives details of an extension of the algorithm that was necessary in order to be able also to classify the 5- and 6-generator groups among the groups of order 256 and gives a summary of the results of the computation. The complete list of these groups is available with the computational group theory systems CAYLEY and GAP in a form that allows further work with these groups using these computational group theory systems.
