Constraint programming over reals

Author(s): Christian Holzbaur, Daniel Cabeza.

Version: 1.11#222 (2004/5/24, 13:8:7 CEST)

Version of last change: 1.11#103 (2003/12/22, 16:56:50 CET)

Note: This package is currently being adapted to the new characteristics of the Ciao module system. This new version now works right now to some extent, but it under further development at the moment. Use with (lots of) caution.
