[comp.fonts] Converting *.mf to *.gf and *.pxl

This might sound a bit naive and silly.

I have been trying to install a Versatec driver for DVI files. This driver
is a part of the TeX distribution. It uses *.*pxl font files and I have been
trying to make these fonts from corresponding *.mf files. Incidentally I am
using the utilities provided by Karl Berry in TeX/tex82/TeXcontrib/sauter.
After making the *.mf files, whenever I run a shellscript `make_gf_files' 
which takes these *.mf files and makes *.gf files, I get the error message :

		cmmf: Command not found.

This is because of a statement in the script :

	cmmf '\batchmode;mode:=;input cmr12'

Does anyone know what 'cmmf' is and where I can find it? 

Another related comment in a different shellscript is :

	set program = cmmf    # Assume cmbase preloaded

If anyone has any suggestions please send them to me by E-mail.

Many thanks in advance.
