1. Introduction This is version 1.9 of CEC, which is short for Conditional Equational Completion. In order to use CEC you need Quintus Prolog. It is known to run under Quintus Prolog 3.1.1, on Sun workstations. 2. Installing To install CEC change to directory ./obj/cec. Edit the declarations at the beginning of the Makefile according to your setup. Issue the command % make cec and wait. Make will automatically generate CEC for the machine type you use (Sun 3 or Sun 4), the resulting executable is then called 'cec.sun3' or 'cec.sun4'. A log of the output during generation is kept in 'cec.log'. Use % make install to copy the executables to the ./bin directory and then % make cleanup to remove all intermediate files, uninstalled executables and logs from the ./obj/cec directory. 3. Documentation Further documentation is in the ./doc/cec subdirectory.
