+A first order unification algorithm is formalized and proved in this
+directory. The files "ROOT.ML" and "ROOT1.ML" give instructions for
+running the proof. "ROOT1.ML" is will run on the current Isabelle release
+
+     "Isabelle-94 revision 5: January 96"
+
+while "ROOT.ML" builds on an internal release that Carsten Clasholm was
+maintaining. Features of this internal release will make their way into
+the public release (I hope). Eventually, the definition facility used to
+define the Unify algorithm will be incorporated into the syntax for
+".thy" files.

+ * This file defines a nested unification algorithm, then proves that it

+ * Although the proofs may seem long, they are actually quite direct, in that
+ * the correctness and termination properties are not mingled as much as in 
+ * previous proofs of this algorithm. 
+ *
+ * Our approach for nested recursive functions is as follows: 
+ *
+ *    0. Prove the wellfoundedness of the termination relation.
+ *    1. Prove the non-nested termination conditions.
+ *    2. Eliminate (0) and (1) from the recursion equations and the 
+ *       induction theorem.
+ *    3. Prove the nested termination conditions by using the induction 
+ *       theorem from (2) and by using the recursion equations from (2). 
+ *       These are constrained by the nested termination conditions, but 
+ *       things work out magically (by wellfoundedness of the termination 
+ *       relation).
+ *    4. Eliminate the nested TCs from the results of (2).
+ *    5. Prove further correctness properties using the results of (4).

+ *    3. Prove the nested termination conditions by using the induction

+ *       These are constrained by the nested termination conditions, but 
+ *       things work out magically (by wellfoundedness of the termination 
+ *       relation).
+ *    4. Eliminate the nested TCs from the results of (2).
