The proof of the Tits alternative for $Out(F_n)$ is completed. The main tool
is a Kolchin type theorem, proved in this paper. It states that a finitely
generated subgroup of $Out(F_n)$ consisting of unipotent automorphisms can be
conjugated into an upper-triangular subgroup (this is interpreted via
train-tracks).
