Hi,

I tried to follow the http://citeseer.nj.nec.com/barendregt94introduction.html link, but I’m unable to reach it. Google searches I made for Barendregt’s paper didn’t find any matches. Are you still able to load http://citeseer.nj.nec.com/barendregt94introduction.html ? If so, that means I picked a bad day to find Barendregt’s paper.

Regards,

Kevin
