-  configures the main core of the interface with less than 30 lines of

+Proof General 3.0 is currently in final testing, and will be released
+in a small number of days.  Please help me with this by testing the
+current <a href="devel.phtml">pre-release</a>, so I can iron out as
+many bugs as possible before making the release.  It's very easy to
+install or upgrade Proof General, so it shouldn't be much effort to
+test it quickly.  Particularly if you're already running an earlier
+version.
