Hi all,

I would like to relabel ~dummylink to ~a1ii, since it is the inference associated with ~a1i (and "dummylink" is not the prettiest word).

As Norm told me, this might have a few consequences, so I would need some agreements before carrying on with the change:
* I would propagate this change to iset.mm and nf.mm, so I'd like to have Jim Kingdon's and Scott Fenton's approvals.
* The term "dummylink" is hard-coded in eimm.c, so it would have to be changed (easy).
* Is it hard-coded in mmj2 ?
* Is it used anywhere else ?

Depending on the answers, it may or may not be too much trouble for such a small change.

Thanks,
Benoit

My answer is that iset.mm should do whatever set.mm does

Likewise for me and nf.mm

It is not hardcoded in mmj2, although it might be in the blacklist (which gets out of date relatively quickly anyway and knows how to handle it).

Regarding the naming, I think it is a bit odd that a theorem called a1ii does not use ax-1. Then again, idi doesn't use id either.
