Mizar System



Overview

The Mizar System is the only implementation of the Mizar Language. Originally, the Mizar system was implemented on an IBM-PC x86 compatibles under MS DOS. Now we distribute releases for MS Windows and Intel-based Linux and Solaris. The whole Mizar system (including verifier) is coded in Pascal using the Free Pascal compiler.

Andrzej Trybulec is the author of the Mizar Language, he is also the head of the team implementing the verifier:

Grzegorz Bancerek,
Czeslaw Bylinski,
Adam Grabowski,
Artur Kornilowicz,
Adam Naumowicz,
Andrzej Trybulec and
Josef Urban.

Preparing a Mizar article

The mechanics of preparing a Mizar Article is as follows:

These three steps are repeated in a loop until no errors are flagged and the author is satisfied with the resulting text. Usually, Accommodator and Verifier are called within mizf (or mizf.bat) user script. Alternatively, Josef Urban's Emacs-lisp Mizar mode (now included in all Mizar distributions) provides a fully functional interface to the Mizar System.

When finished, an article is submitted to the Library Committee of Association of Mizar Users for inclusion into the Mizar Mathematical Library. The contributed article is subject to a review and if needed the authors must revise their file. The contents of an accepted article is extracted by the Exporter utility and incorporated into the public data base distributed to all Mizar users.

To summarize, Mizar System is based on three programs named: Accommodator, Verifier, Exporter.

Distribution

The distribution of the Mizar system and the Mizar Mathematical Library is free of charge for non commercial purposes.
