Newbie request: minimum length generator sequences?

Hello.

Anyone help me with this. Is there a (hopefully free) notebook or
package around that attempts to determine minimum length generator
sequences for group elements? I can manage something but my methods are
not very efficient (I'm aware it's NP-hard).

In general is there a public domain package or notebook for group-
theoretic algorithms?

Very appreciative of help.

Thank you.
