1. ABOUT

Verity is a small utility for generating truth tables of logical statements of
the sort that you would be assigned in a logic course.  Currently, it can
output tables as plain ASCII text, TeX or LaTeX markup, and PostScript.  See
the manpage for more information.

Verity was written by John T. Wodder II <jwodder@sdf.lonestar.org> and is
licensed under the GNU GPL, v.3 or later.  The latest version and any
half-baked changes to it in the works can be found at
<http://github.com/jwodder/Verity>.

22 Nov 2008 - v.1.3:
 - Version history started
 - Variables named 'x', 'X', or 'v' may now be used by preceding them with
   backslashes

??? - v.1.4:
 - '+' now accepted as an alternative to 'x' and 'X'
 - The symbol to use for XOR in output can now be set by #defining or not
   #defining OLD_XOR_SYM in veriprint.c.  If it is #defined, the symbol will be
   'x' in plain text output and 'v' with a dot over it in (La)TeX and
   PostScript; if not #defined, it will be '+' in plain text and a circled '+'
   in (La)TeX and PostScript.
 - Implemented error recovery for invalid statements up to the next newline or
   semicolon
 - Added the -u and -U switches for producing Unicode output
