A while ago someone posted a item saying that he needed TeX macros to
format tree proofs.  He wanted to be able to do things like


                  *a = b     a = b => ac = bc
                 -----------------------------
     9 = 2+2+5              9a = 9b                    *a = b
    -----------------------------------------         --------
                  2a + 2a + 5a = 2b + 2b + 5b          5a = 5b
                 ----------------------------------------------
                  2a + 2a + 5b = 2b + 2b + 5a
                 -----------------------------
                               .
                               .
                               .
                    ------------------------
                     2(a-b)+2(a-b) = 5(a-b)
                    ------------------------
                           2 + 2 = 5

Does anyone still have that article around? I've got some macros which I think
will do the job. (And if anyone else is interested, let me know.)
