<H2>LK: Classical First-Order Sequent Calculus</H2>
This directory contains the Standard ML sources of the Isabelle system for
First-Order Logic as a classical sequent calculus. (For a Natural Deduction
version, see FOL.) Important files include

<DT>ROOT.ML
<DD>loads all source files. Enter an ML image containing Pure
Isabelle and type: use "ROOT.ML";<P>
<DT>Makefile
