NAME

       formed - formula editor for first-order logic formulas

SYNOPSIS

       formed [options]

DESCRIPTION

       This manual page documents briefly the formed command.

       formed  is a window-based program for constructing, displaying, and managing first-order logic formulas. The main motivation for construct-
       ing formed was the desire to have formulas displayed in a readable, two-dimensional format. Users of formed can make two kinds of transfor-
       mation  on  formulas: (1) logic transformations, such as negation normal form translation, which preserve the meaning of a formula, and (2)
       edit transformations, which can be used to make arbitrary changes, such as adding a hypothesis to a subformula. formed was written by using
       the X Window System, Version 11, and code from the theorem prover otter.

OPTIONS

       A summary of options is included below.

       -l filename
	      Load formulas in the specified file during startup. Formulas can also be loaded after startup with the button Load in the main menu.

       -f color
	      Use the named color for the foreground on color monitors (ignored on black-and-white monitors).

       -b color
