Then you can rewrite by hand or, for example, click creep until you see "found solution" in the proof net window... Of course, all this can be done by machine if you select nonstop in the windows... - to see the proof as tex, you currently have to run latex proofs1.tex by hand and then click on view again. proofs1.tex will be in tex/, but using eg.tex in ./, so better do in ./ latex tex/proofs1.tex ... - due to some bug (?) the linkings vanish after all readings have been calculated. Better have a look at them before... I think this only happens at our domain, but maybe I am just using Grail the wrong way anyway. This makes the "nonstop" mode far less nice to look at... - a very evil trick to make the "view" button work is like this: ln tex/* ./ in the Grail directory. Then add to your path a shellscript called grail_log (do not forget chmod u+x grail_log ...) which contains: #!/bin/bash echo grail_log: Parameters are $* echo grail_log: $# parameters given $* (shell script ends here) This is because Grail runs "grail_log latex proofs1" and expects proofs1.tex to be compiled after that... ... hint: gebruik "delete" ipv "shell rm": http://www.cling.gu.se/datorinfo/old/sicstus/sicstus3/sicstus/sicstus_23.html #SEC167 .../sicstus-3.8.1/bin/sicstus (muss diese Version sein...) ...
