Let $ℤ_d ≀ 𝔄}_m$ be the generalized alternating group. We prove that all double covers of $ℤ_d ≀ 𝔄}_m$ occur as Galois groups over any algebraic number field. We further realize some of these double covers as the Galois groups of regular extensions of ℚ(T). If d is odd and m >7, then every central extension of $ℤ_d ≀ 𝔄}_m$ occurs as the Galois group of a regular extension of ℚ(T). We further improve some of our earlier results concerning double covers of the generalized symmetric group $ℤ_d ≀ 𝔖_m$.
