Equations may -be specified either on the type \verb=nat= of natural numbers or on -the type \verb=Z= of binary-encoded integer numbers. Formulas on -\verb=nat= are automatically injected into \verb=Z=. The procedure -may use any hypothesis of the current proof session to solve the goal. - -Multiplication is handled by {\tt omega} but only goals where at -least one of the two multiplicands of products is a constant are -solvable.
