- ----------------------------------------------------------------------
Proof is a shell based auxiliary program that's able to process and view 
TeX-, LaTeX-, METAFONT- and MetaPost-sources and thus can be used to quickly 
produce snapshots of TeX related documents whenever necessary. Its main 
purpose however is to act as a completion to an ordinary word processing 
program which normally lacks appropriate facilities to process TeX sources 
within a common TeX/LaTeX environment. Here, Proof completely relieves the 
author of doing shell related work and thus simplifies the process of 
preparing PostScript documents particularly in those cases where various 
different sources are involved. Besides Proof offers a simple control 
mechanism that may be accessed from within the editor being used, an 
interface to common METAFONT font test algorithms and a simple back-up 
facility, ensuring that sourcefiles can easily be restored when accidentally 
overwritten or deleted.
