This directory contains the source files for the theorem-proving
system MVL, together with a variety of examples and documentation.
Instructions on loading and using MVL are contained in the MVL
documentation file manual.tex, which can be processed by LaTeX.

A .DVI file that can be read directly is in a directory that is a
sibling of the one where this file resides, so that if you found this
file in /ftp/mvl, then the manual is /ftp/papers/manual.dvi.

There are two ways to recover the files:

1.  On Unix systems, with uncompress and tar available:

	a.  FTP to t.uoregon.edu (128.223.56.46)
	b.  login as anonymous (use your email address as the password)
	c.  cd mvl
	d.  binary
	e.  get mvl.tar.Z
	f.  quit (out of ftp)
	g.  uncompress mvl.tar.Z
	h.  tar xf mvl.tar

This will put the mvl files in a subdirectory called "mvl".

2.  On systems without uncompress and tar:

	a.  FTP to t.uoregon.edu (128.223.56.46)
	b.  login as anonymous (use your email address as the password)
	c.  cd mvl
	d.  mget *

If possible, do not retrieve the file mvl.tar.Z.  This will put the
files in the current directory.


IF YOU RETRIEVE THE SYSTEM, PLEASE SEND A MESSAGE TO

   GINSBERG@CS.UOREGON.EDU

TO LET ME KNOW THAT YOU HAVE DONE SO.  I'M NOT ASSEMBLING A MAILING
LIST, JUST TRYING TO FIND OUT HOW MANY PEOPLE ARE USING MVL.  IF YOU
DO END UP USING IT, I WOULD ALSO BE INTERESTED IN ANY COMMENTS OR
SUGGESTIONS YOU HAVE.  THANKS!
