<H2>Sequents: Various Sequent Calculi</H2>
This directory contains the ML sources of the Isabelle system for
various Sequent, Linear, and Modal Logic.<p>
The subdirectories <tt>ex</tt>, <tt>ex/LK</tt>, <tt>ex/ILL</tt>,
<tt>ex/Modal</tt> contain some examples.<p>
Much of the work in Modal logic was done by Martin Coen. Thanks to
Rajeev Gore' for supplying the inference system for S43. Sara Kalvala
reorganized the files and supplied Linear Logic. Jacob Frost provided
some improvements to the syntax of sequents.
