One is the normal one: a +sequence of printed paper pages bound together between covers. There are +such books about ACL2. Click <A +HREF="http://www.cs.utexas.edu/users/moore/publications/acl2-papers.html">here</A> +for more information. +<P> +The other sense is a technical one: an ACL2 ``book'' is a file of +definitions, theorems and other commands used to extend ACL2's reasoning +abilities. Commands add ``rules'' to ACL2's data base. When a book is +``certified,'' ACL2 checks that all the commands in it can be successfully +processed. A book can be ``included'' into an ACL2 session to extend the +data base. This is the standard way users exchange useful sets of theorems. +See the online documentation topic BOOKS for details. +<P> +The standard distribution of ACL2 comes with many books. They are stored on +this directory. This is a guide to the available books. We include +instructions on how to certify the books in this directory at the <A +HREF="#CertificationInstructions">end</A> of this note. +<P> +Some of the links below are to files.
