List of additional documentation
================================
This manual does not contain all the documentation the user may need
about |Coq|. Various informations can be found in the following documents:
-Tutorial
- A companion volume to this reference manual, the |Coq| Tutorial, is
- aimed at gently introducing new users to developing proofs in |Coq|
- without assuming prior knowledge of type theory. In a second step,
- the user can read also the tutorial on recursive types (document
- `RecTutorial.ps`).

Installation
A text file `INSTALL` that comes with the sources explains how to
install |Coq|.
The |Coq| standard library
A commented version of sources of the |Coq| standard library

- in the additional document `Library.ps`.
