Re: [ProofPower] Test
I received my test post to the ProofPower mailing list, so I better do myself what I asked everyone else to do! So here is my reply! Perhaps I should give a brief update on events since the list started to malfunction: ProofPower is alive and well and in use by D-RisQ and others. It has reached that rare state for a software system of becoming relatively stable: by and large, it does what the current user community want and they are mostly building on top of it rather than needing to burrow inside it. (It is a sad comment on software engineering that stable is considered by many to imply moribund. I do not share that opinion.) One bit of burrowing inside instigated by the developers rather than the users began a few years ago: an experimental port of ProofPower to use Unicode and UTF-8 for mathematical symbols in place of the ad hoc character set that we had to invent for ourselves years ago. Roger Jones did some excellent work towards this end and made a version of the document processing tools that would compile all the ML code from UTF-8 sources using the old character set as an intermediary. I ported the user interface program xpp based on his work, but it has proved problematic to port all that we did to Linux: we were developing on Mac OS and, sadly, the Free BSD wchar_t libraries are much less restrictive than the Gnu libraries and it seems to need a lot more work on the document processing utilities (that are written in C) to get round this. [As an aside: I wanted to continue to support the Cygwin platform and there seems to be little hope for full support for UTF-8 on gcc in Cygwin.] I have more r ecently got the xpp port working on Linux, but not the rest of the system. So that development is in abeyance. I hope to lock horns with this strand of work again in the not too distant future.
