Version information

wenzelm@3259: wenzelm@4987: This is the internal repository version of Isabelle. Starting with wenzelm@4987: Isabelle98, the current line of Isabelle introduces many new features, wenzelm@5207: but also some imcompatibilities with Isabelle94-XX. See the wenzelm@4987: NEWS file in the distribution for more details. wenzelm@3259: wenzelm@3259: wenzelm@3259:

System requirements

wenzelm@3259: wenzelm@3259: Isabelle requires a real Unix box with sufficient resources. Fun wenzelm@3274: starts at about 32MB of memory (somewhat depending on your ML system), wenzelm@4401: with several tens of MB disk space and a relatively fast CPU. wenzelm@3259: wenzelm@3259:

wenzelm@3259: wenzelm@3259: Furthermore, it needs the following software, which is not part of the wenzelm@3259: distribution: wenzelm@3259:

wenzelm@3259: wenzelm@3259:

wenzelm@3259: wenzelm@3259: The following ML system and platform combinations are known to work wenzelm@3259: quite well: wenzelm@3259:

wenzelm@3259: wenzelm@3259:

wenzelm@3259: wenzelm@4431: SML/NJ wenzelm@4431: needs lots of store and disk space, but it is free. The current wenzelm@4431: official release is 110. We also still support the old 0.93 release wenzelm@4481: and working versions 109.27 to 109.33. wenzelm@4431: wenzelm@4431:

wenzelm@4431: wenzelm@3274: Poly/ML is a wenzelm@3274: commercial product and costs money, but it is stable and efficient. It wenzelm@3274: requires relatively little memory (starting at about 16MB) and disk wenzelm@4582: space (about 60MB for all distributed object logics). wenzelm@3259: wenzelm@3259:

wenzelm@3259: wenzelm@4431: MLWorks is a wenzelm@4431: commercial ML programming environment. Isabelle on MLWorks should be wenzelm@4431: still considered experimental! wenzelm@4431: wenzelm@4431:

Installation

wenzelm@3259: wenzelm@3259: See file INSTALL in the Isabelle sources on how to build the wenzelm@3259: system. Further background information may be found in the wenzelm@3259: Isabelle System Manual, distributed as dvi with the wenzelm@3259: sources. wenzelm@3259: wenzelm@3259: wenzelm@3306:

Interfaces

wenzelm@3306: wenzelm@3306: The distribution includes only a very primitive interface based on wenzelm@3306: ordinary terminal sessions.

wenzelm@3306: wenzelm@4481: Isamode by wenzelm@4481: David Aspinall is a more elaborate interface for Isabelle. It runs wenzelm@4481: under recent versions of GNU Emacs and XEmacs, the latter being wenzelm@4481: recommended. It's useful to both novices and experts. wenzelm@3306: wenzelm@3306: wenzelm@3259:
