#V  TRANSPROPERTIES . . . . . . . . . property list for the transitive groups
##
##  This list is in the same order as the groups generators. For each group,
##  properties are stored as follows: 
##
##      <size>:         Size of the group
##      <primitive>:    1 indicates, that the group operates primitive
##      <transitivity>: Transitivity
##      <sign>:         Sign
##      <shapes>:       List of all occurring shapes (except ()), sorted
##                      according to the ordering of the Partitions command
##      <2Seq>:         Orbits on 2-Sequences
##      <2Set>:         Orbits on 2-Sets
##      <3Set>:         Orbits on 3-Sets
##      <special>:      following entries mark special properties, which
##       ...            are coded as [type,description1,description2,...] .
##                      The list starts with orbit lengths:
##                      
##      Types:
##      1               1-Set=Pts.
##      2               2-Set
##      3               3-Set
##      4               4-Set
##      5               5-Sets
##      6               i/2-Diff (only possible with even number of points)
##      8               Blocks
##      9               2Seq
##
##           20+b       derived Subgroup on b
##
##        100*a+b       factor group by operation on the b cosets of a
##                      type a stabilizer; description field gives the
##                      number of this factor group as TransitiveGroup
##       1000*a+10*b+c  factor group by operation on the b cosets of
##                      an type a stabilizer operates on c:
##                      description fields are a list for each of the
##                      possible stabilizers
##      10000*a+10*b+c  type a stabilizer of index b operation on c:
##                      description fields are a list for each of the
##                      possible stabilizers, split again for the
##                      (raw-split) due to the Orbits of <G> itself.
##
##      All Orbit information is coded as a list in which each entry has
##      the form 
##      SignOperation*( 1000*(number of orbits with this description-1)
##                              +length)
##
##      Group theoretic information that cannot be used by the Galois
##      determination routines is indicated by a negative sign:
##
##      -50             Size of the derived subgroup
##      -60             Size of the Frattini subgroup
##      -70             Number of normal subgroups
##
##      some special cases are not discriminated completely by this
##      list. The program will deal with them separately.
