I would encourage to go the way through: replace Binomial/Fact by your development. In the examples you sent with your rewrite orientation problem there is still a separate Fact.thy (which a few dozens of lines). I would strongly suggest to integrate this into your Binomal.thy Thanks a lot, Florian -- Home: http://wwwbroy.in.tum.de/~haftmann PGP available: http://home.informatik.tu-muenchen.de/haftmann/pgp/florian_haftmann_at_informatik_tu_muenchen_de -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
