Xproof version 3.5 is available via anonymous ftp from expo.lcs.mit.edu
and pokey.cs.wisc.edu.  This version has minor pathces contributed by
Andreas Stolcke <stolcke@icsi.Berkeley.EDU>.  Thank you, Andreas!

Xproof is a ditroff previewer for X11.

Here is a summary of the fixes:

-  allow Bezier curves (D'z ...') to be faked using splines, instead of
   complaining about an undefined command. Bezier curves are not available
   in all ditroff versions, but it doesn't hurt putting them in.

-  xproof originally doesn't care about the 'x T ...' command at the beginning
   of the input.  I modified it so it set's its 'device' variable accordingly.
   Also, the DEVICE macro wasn't used to define the default device.

-  The #define InstalledLibraries business in Imakefile is no longer necessary
   in R4 since the R4 imake rules already provide such an option
   (generating the Makefile with xmkmf causes the installed libs to be used).
