[newbie] comparing logical expressions



I did this:

(1)  From http://sourceforge.net/apps/phpbb/maxima/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=9, follow the link to
        https://github.com/andrejv/discrete.mac/wiki/discrete.mac

 (2)  download the zip file and unzip it. To try it out, I saved the file to the Windows download folder and
         unzipped it there. You might like to save unzip it to a folder where you keep Maxima files.

 (3) I didn't uzip the file to a location Maxima could find, so from a Maxima prompt, I did

 (%i1) file_search_maxima : cons("C:/Users/Barton/Downloads/andrejv-discrete.mac-53fac0a/$$$.{mac}",      file_search_maxima)$

(%i2) file_search_lisp : cons("C:/Users/Barton/Downloads/andrejv-discrete.mac-53fac0a/$$$.{lisp}", file_search_lisp)$

(%i3) load("C:/Users/Barton/Downloads/andrejv-discrete.mac-53fac0a/logic.mac")$

Of course, you will need to adjust the pathnames. For permanent installation, unzip the file to a folder in
Maxima's search path. 

Examples:

(%i4) boolean_simp(a and a);
(%o4) a

(%i5) boolean_equiv((a implies b) ,  not (a and not b));
(%o5) true
  
I don't know anything about this package.

I also tried to first give the command
load("logic.mac");
But the package was not found, so I hoped it would be a standard part of
Maxima meanwhile. Can you tell me how to install it?
