This is a good opportunity to advertise the wonderful world of wais. Wais is
like anonymous ftp with keyword searching. I have a wais database which is
(a) accessible by the whole world and (b) oriented towards functional
programming. It contains mostly abstracts and news articles giving references,
so hopefully it can be used to get initial pointers to areas of interest.
Here is what it said about OBJ: (BTW my database contains a list of public
domain compilers and interpreters, and OBj is not mentioned in there, except
as in the extension .obj).

%C This paper states, justifies, and illustrates some new techniques for using an equational logic based programming language like OBJ as a theorem prover. These techniques avoid the complexities of both higher order logic and, Knuth-Bendix completion.
