[comp.sources.wanted] SNF to ?? wanted

kenc@viewlogic.com (Kenstir) (05/09/91)

I'm looking to translate .SNF files from the Sun's format
to the DECstation's.  One could write a byte-swapper, I'm
sure, but what I'd really like is one of:

	SNF to BDF
	SNF to SNF, different byte-order

Many thanks in advance for any help!

SNF simply stands for "Server Natural Format" (see the FAQ), so the only
_general_ way to port it from one machine to another is to convert it to
BDF.  The program snftobdf (which works at least with the Sun) should be
available from an FTP site or a nearby archive.

You can get snftobdf as part of bdftools.  It handles the byte
swapping.  You can get bdftools from:

crl.nmsu.edu:pub/misc/bdftools.tar.Z [128.123.1.14]
export.lcs.mit.edu:contrib/bdftools.tar.Z [18.30.0.238]
