REDUCE programs for algebraic computation in General Relativity are presented which use the metric tensor as input. The programs calculate — according to the user's option — the C HRISTOFFEL symbols, the R IEMANN tensor, the R ICCI tensor, the R ICCI scalar, the E INSTEIN tensor and the W EYL tensor.
