# PROforma (Vector Graphics/Fonts on a Plate)

PROforma itself is a Font and Raster Manager program from PROGS. What you get when you buy PROforma in this package is the actual PROforma program and access to PROforma through a library of functions. If the programmer is writing their code in either ‘C’ or assembly (not interpreted SuperBASIC), they can use the PROforma program through these routines within their own code to display high quality vector fonts and graphics with a ’minimal’ degree of effort. Different printers and screen resolutions are handled transparently to the programmer by the included drivers.
