+ Welcome to SPASS!
+ =================
+
+This is the generic README file for all SPASS distributions, so your downloaded
+package may only contain a subset of what is described here.
+
+
+ Important Files
+ ===============
+
+AUTHORS all authors that contributed to SPASS
+
+INSTALLATION for a guide to install the prover, man pages,
+ tools etc.; by default binaries are installed
+ in /usr/local/bin and man-pages in /usr/local/man;
+ use the prefix option of make install for a different
+ path
+
+COPYING for the licence agreement that you certify by
+ installation, its the GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE, Version 2
+
+VERSIONHISTORY changes starting from version 1.0.0
+
+README is this file
+
+
+
+
+ Programs
+ ========
+
+The distribution contains the following programs. Most
+of them give you a brief description if they are called
+without arguments. Most of the programs come with man-pages.
+
+SPASS is our prover for first-order logic with equality.
+
+FLOTTER translates first-order formulae into clauses; its
+ incorporated in SPASS and hence now only a link to
+ SPASS.
+
+pcs is our proof checker. NOTE that in its default settings
+ pcs needs an installation of otter for proof checking.
+ You can also employ SPASS itself for this purpose by the
+ -o option.
+
+pgen generates out of a SPASS proof file all subtasks needed
+ to guarantee the correctness of the proof.
+
+dfg2otter translates DFG-syntax input files into otter input files,
+ without any settings commands.
+
+dfg2otter.pl has the same functionality than dfg2otter but adds specific
+ settings that are useful if otter is employd as a proof checker
+ for SPASS.
+
+dfg2tptp translates DFG-syntax input files into TPTP input files.
+
+
+dfg2ascii provides an ASCII pretty print of DFG-syntax input files
+
+
+ Documentation
+ =============
+
+Besides the man pages, in the directory doc you'll find a description
+of our input syntax (spass-input-syntax.pdf), a small tutorial (tutorial.pdf)
+that is just a print out of our tutorial web page and the complete
+theory of SPASS (handbook-spass.pdf). Furthermore, there is a FAQ
+database (faq.txt).
+
+
+ Examples
+ ========
+
+In the examples directory you'll find some small examples. Further
+example collections can be downloaded from the SPASS homepage. By
+convention, files ending in ".dfg" are formula files and files ending
+in ".cnf" are files containing clauses.
+
+
+ WWW
+ ===
+
+Consider the SPASS homepage at
+
+ http://spass.mpi-sb.mpg.de/
+
+for recent developments, downloads etc.
