A complete theorem prover for intuitionistic predicate logic based on the cut-free calculus is presented. It includes a treatment of "quasi-free" identity based on a delay mechanism and a special form of unification. Several important optimizations of the basic algorithm are introduced. The resulting system is available in source form from SICS; an Appendix gives some idea of its performance.
