Tidied many proofs, using AddIffs to let equivalences take the place of separate Intr and Elim rules. Also deleted most named clasets.

	   HOL: Higher-Order Logic with curried functions

This directory contains the Standard ML sources of the Isabelle system for
Higher-Order Logic with curried functions.  Important files include

ROOT.ML -- loads all source files.  Enter an ML image containing Pure
Isabelle and type:    use "ROOT.ML";

Makefile -- compiles the files under Poly/ML or SML of New Jersey

ex -- subdirectory containing examples.  To execute them, enter an ML image
containing HOL and type:    use "ex/ROOT.ML";

Subst -- subdirectory defining a theory of substitution and unification.
