%% Test of REDUCE sets package, based on the examples on page 51 of
%% the "Maple V Language Reference Manual"
%% by Char, Geddes, Gonnet, Leong, Monagan and Watt (Springer, 1991).

%% The output (especially of symbolic set expressions) looks better
%% using PSL-REDUCE under MS-Windows or X in graphics mode.

%% Note that REDUCE supports n-ary symbolic infix operators,
%% does not require any special quoting to use an infix operator
%% as a prefix operator, and supports member as an infix operator.
%% However, REDUCE ALWAYS requires  evalb  to explicitly evaluate a
%% Boolean expression outside of a conditional statement.
%% Maple 5.2 does not provide any subset predicates.
