[comp.lang.postscript] What does the PS prep do?

Hi, Postscript Masters.

I think some of you can answer my questions.
I'm translating a encoded downloadable PS fonts 
generated by FontoGrapher 3.0 for Macintosh into a metafont file
for use on my Suns and IBM-PCs with TeX.
But I found some troubles in doing this.
Fontographer generated Mac PS fonts needs Macintosh Prep file,
but I don't know exactly what the prep file does.
Does anyone can tell me what is the prep and what does it do?
Does anyone have the same experience with me?
I'm sorry if this is one of the FAQ, but I'm a newcommer here.
Thanks in advance.
