Its main purpose + however is to act as a completion to an ordinary word pro- + cessing program which normally lacks appropriate facili- + ties 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/PDF documents particularly in + those cases where various different sources are involved. + Besides Proof offers a handy 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. For + further information on how to use this program see section + EXAMPLE please. + + +INSTALLATION + To install Proof to your system, simply type './install'. + This will install the files proof (shellscript), .proofrc + (config file) and proof.1.gz (manual page) and hence + should be done by the system admin unless you want to + change the default locations for the files referred to. + ('install' will prompt you, if you want to do so.) When + successfully installed, you should take a look at your + Proof configuration file .proofrc, located in your home + directory, which you may wish to modify to suit it to your + own needs. Finally, to ensure that the program works fine + in this environment, you should try to process the sample + files example.tex, example.mf and example.mp which are + also part of the distribution. (Use the sample editing + script 'edit' if you like. To do so, simply type "edit + example.tex", "edit example.mf" etc. on the commandline. + You may enter the name of your favourite word processing + program into the script prior to that.) Please consult + Proof manual page for further information on how to use + this program. + + +REQUIREMENTS + Proof should work properly on UNIX conformable platforms + (i. e. Linux, BSD etc.) provided that there's an intact + TeX/LaTeX environment (http://www.ctan.org) and GNU bash + (Bourne Again Shell), version 2.03 or later + (http://www.gnu.org/software/bash/bash.html). The install + script provided with Proof will show some useful informa- + tion on this topic. See also this list of auxiliary pro- + grams Proof is known to work fine with: TeX (Web2C 7.3.1) + 3.14159, e-TeX (Web2C 7.3.1) 3.14159-2.1, pdfTeX (Web2C + 7.3.1) 3.14159-0.13d, pdfeTeX (Web2C 7.3.1) + 3.14159-0.13d-2.1, Metafont (Web2C 7.3.1) 2.7182, MetaPost + (Web2C 7.3.1) 0.641, dvips v5.86, dvipdfm version 0.13.2c, + GNU ghostscript 7.05, gv 3.5.8, ghostview v1.5, xdvi(k) + version 22.05d-k, RCS version 5.7. + + +COPYRIGHT + Copyright (C) 2002 Klaus Bosau + + This program can be redistributed and/or modified under + the terms of the GNU General Public License as published + by the Free Software Foundation.
