           Mathematics and Computer Science Division

This directory contains the source code, test problems, and
documentation for the automated deduction program Otter, Version 3.0.
(Also included is a secondary program called Formed, Release 0.9.  See
source/README.formed.)

The subdirectories are

   source    - the source code
   examples  - example input files, in several subdirectories
   document  - "Otter 3.0 Reference Manual and Guide" in LaTeX and in postscript
   misc      - miscellaneous stuff

To compile Otter, go to the directory `source' and run `make otter'.
If compilation fails, see the file `Makefile' for hints.

I'm afraid I don't have the resources to provide much technical
support, but please let me know if you find a bug.  Send (detailed)
bug reports and comments on Otter and its manual to otter@mcs.anl.gov.

I am trying to keep a record of active Otter users.  If you become
an Otter user, please let me know and send a brief description
of your applications.  I would also enjoy seeing any reports or
papers mentioning work with Otter.

If you wish to be on an e-mail list to receive updates, bug fixes, 
information on new releases, etc., or for information on obtaining
the current version of Otter, send me a message.
