DESCRIPTION
  
      A Prolog Technology Theorem Prover
  
               Mark E. Stickel
  
   This file contains changes to PTTP to use
   depth-first iterative deepening search with bound on
   D_Alit (maximum number of A-literals on a branch)
   instead of
   D_Inf (total number of subgoals).

   To use, load pttp and then load this file
   to replace changed definitions.
