Abstract: TOPCOM is a package for computing triangulations of point
configurations and oriented matroids. For example, for a
point configuration one can compute the chirotope,
components of the flip graph of triangulations, enumerate all triangulations.
The core algorithms implemented in TOPCOM are described, and
implentation issues are discussed.
