Subject: Conversion from HOL88 to HOL90
Content-Length: 610


Converting from HOL88v2.x (in my case x=0) to HOL90 was usually
straightforward.

Usually only minor changes after hacking the syntax with emacs.  The main
difference being the lack of autoloading.  I complicated things somewhat
by choosing to explicitly load theorems as they are used.

Converting from HOL88v1.x can be less straightforward, because of the
different behaviour of the resolution tactics.  Presumably this is
also a problem upgrading to HOL88v2.x.

(I think I have the HOL88 version numbers right).
