Changes
There are two routines to change between the two different 
methods of representing the partitions:
- NAME:             t_VECTOR_EXPONENT
 - SYNOPSIS:         INT t_VECTOR_EXPONENT(OP a,b)
 - DESCRIPTION:      transforms a PARTITIONobject a, where kind of a is
	VECTOR, into a PARTITIONobject b, where kind is EXPONENT, a and 
	b may be equal. b is freed first to an empty object.
 - RETURN:           is OK
 
and
- NAME:             t_EXPONENT_VECTOR
 - SYNOPSIS:         INT t_EXPONENT_VECTOR(OP a,b)
 - DESCRIPTION:      transforms a PARTITIONobject a, where kind of a is
	EXPONENT, into a PARTITIONobject b, where kind is VECTOR, a and 
	b may be equal. b is freed first to an empty object.
 - RETURN:           is OK
 
Please note the following important rule:
if the partition is of kind VECTOR, then its elements are in increasing
order, i.e. the French notation is used!
