 _A tool for embedding non-classical logics into higher-order logic (HOL)_
 
 The tool translates a TPTP problem statement formulated in a non-classical logic 
-(using the logic specification format) into monomorphic or polymorphic THF.
+(using the logic specification format) into classical higher-order logic
+(THF format) or first-order logic (TFF format), either using monomorphic or polymorphic types.
 A description of the tool is available as tool paper [^2], the underlying TPTP syntax is
 described in [^3].
