As open [ital N]=2 or 4 strings describe self-dual [ital N]=4 Yang-Mills theory in 2+2 dimensions, the corresponding closed (heterotic) strings describe self-dual ungauged (gauged) [ital N]=8 supergravity. These theories are conveniently formulated in a chiral superspace with general supercoordinate and local OSp(8[vert bar]2) gauge invariances. The super-light-cone and covariant-component actions are analyzed. Because only half the Lorentz group is gauged, the gravity field equation is just the vanishing of the torsion.
