PS  Sean,  if you allow any language, then MAGMA is surely the best bet for
those group theory sequences, and also for posets.
Don't we have any Magma experts on the list?

(I don't mean a cheating program, like a table lookup, although Magma
does have extensive tables of small objects.  I'm talking about what you
want, a program for extending the known values.)

Best regards
Neil
