cl-jointgen -- a Common Lisp implementation of the joint generation algorithm
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

This package contains an implementation of the simple variant
(`Algorithm A') of the Fredman-Khachian Joint-Generation method for
dualizing monotone boolean functions. 

Please check <http://primaldual.de/cl-jointgen/> for documentation and
<https://sourceforge.net/projects/cl-jointgen/> for bug tracker, file releases
and Git repository.

This code is released under the GNU Public License, see LICENSE.GPL
with Lisp prequel as set forth in LICENSE.Lisp-GPL-Preface, which is
close to the LLGPL of Franz. Inc. This is intended to further
research, by forcing you to release the source code of your
modifications so others can continue on the same track. If you are not
ready to follow the GPL route, we (the authors) may be willing to
license this code under a different (commercial) license to you.


Quickstart
----------
This code is developed under Allegro Common Lisp but also gets tested
on SBCL. It actually runs faster with SBCL, even when using the ugly
bitvector code on Allegro.

Documentation is generated using the atdoc package of David Lichteblau, and
can be found in the web/ subdirectory. Try 
	<file:/path/to/this/directory/web/index.html>
in your favourite browser to read it.

The file example.lisp contains some use cases you might care to try.



Hacker instructions and hints
-----------------------------

We use automake only to build release .tar.gz files, so you can safely
ignore it.

If you are changing things it will be useful to enable un it tests.
They get run upon load automatically from examples.lisp if you have
#+5am on your *features* variable before compiling and loading 
cl-jointgen.asd. You will need the FiveAM testing framework from
	<http://common-lisp.net/project/bese/FiveAM.html>

To generate documentation we rely on a patched version of David
Lichteblau's atdoc package. The original package is at
<http://www.lichteblau.com/git/atdoc.git/>, and our patches have mostly
been integrated there.
