Hi,

WRT ...

> The TPTP problem library can be accessed through the URLs:

Gustav Meglicki suggests ...

> What about an ftp location of the whole package?

1. Obtaining the TPTP by FTP

   prompt> cd <the directory where you want the TPTP to reside>
   prompt> ftp -i coral.cs.jcu.edu.au             # or: ftp -i 137.219.17.4
           # or use
           ftp -i flop.informatik.tu-muenchen.de  # or: ftp -i 131.159.8.35
   Name (coral.cs.jcu.edu.au:<your login-name>): ftp
   331 Guest login ok, send your complete e-mail address as password.
   Password:<your full login-name>
   ftp> cd pub/research/tptp-library   # on coral.cs.jcu.edu.au
        cd pub/tptp-library            # on flop.informatik.tu-muenchen.de
   ftp> binary
   ftp> mget *.gz
   ftp> quit

   Or use the World Wide Web (WWW) with either of the following URLs :
      http://www.cs.jcu.edu.au/ftp/users/GSutcliffe/TPTP.HTML
      http://wwwjessen.informatik.tu-muenchen.de/~suttner/tptp.html


2. Installing the TPTP

   prompt> gunzip -c TPTP-v1.2.0.tar.gz | tar xvf -
   prompt> TPTP-v1.2.0/TPTP2X/tptp2X_install
           <... the script will then ask for required information>

   If you don't have any Prolog installed, you need to get one first. BinProlog
   is freely available by anonymous ftp from clement.info.umoncton.ca:BinProlog

3. Converting all the TPTP problems to the syntax of other ATP systems

   prompt> TPTP-v1.2.0/TPTP2X/tptp2X -f<Syntax>

   where  <Syntax> is one of  kif,  leantap, tap,  meteor, mgtp,  otter,  pttp,
   setheo, sprfn, or tptp.

   The tptp  option simply expands  include directives,  producing files in the
   TPTP Prolog-style syntax.  tptp2X offers  MUCH more than this.  See the TPTP
   technical  report  for a  detailed description  of  the  utility,  including
   information on how to produce output in your own syntax.

Cheers,

Geoff
