more on Simplifier rules, based on old material;

more concise/precise documentation;

tuned text

replaced relation by function - simplifies development

made SMLNJ happier

import Sublist rather than PrefixOrder to avoid unnecessary class instantiation

prefer explicit Random.seed

dropped dead code

tuned import order

tuned layout

fixed detection of tautologies -- things like "a = b" in a structured proof, where a and b are Frees, shouldn't be discarted as tautologies

create temp directory if not already created

merged

new theory IMP/Finite_Reachable

avoid messing too much with output of "string_of_term", so that it doesn't break the yxml encoding for jEdit

centralized term printing code
