- As I recall there are several programs that do FOL proofs in a natural
- deduction system for the Mac and for IBM-clones. The ones I'm
- thinking of aren't theorem provers, but are more like proof checkers.
- I know that Tarski's World (by Barwise and Etchemendy) is available both
- for the macintosh and for windows. If that's the sort of thing you're looking
- for then there are several others also (tho I can't at the moment recall the
- titles). Someone was demo'ing an IBMish program at the last APA conference
- I attended.
-
- If that's the sort of thing you're looking for then you might ask on
- philos-l. I seem to recall that a list of such programs circulated there not
- too long ago.
