mf2ps is now available for anonymous ftp This is the program described in the paper S. Yanai, D.M. Berry, "Environment for Translating METAFONT to PostScript", _TUGboat_ 11:4, 525-541, 1990 mf2ps was obtained by splitting the METAFONT program into a front-end and a back-end at precisely the point that the envelope of a character is determined. This envelope is then output as a PostScript outline program. It is available in compressed shar format for anonymous ftp from shemp.cs.ucla.edu (131.179.128.34) in file pub/mf2ps.shar.Z Thus uncompressing it yields something to be executed by sh.

Is anyone else having a similar problem? Since I don't have a "real" postscript symbiont for my VMS print queue, I have the HP connected to a standard print queue and print /noform the PS file. Could this be my problem? thanks, -- michael ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Michael McGuffey, Director BITNET: mcguffey@marshall Office of Institutional Research Internet: mcguffey%muvms3@wvnvms.wvnet.edu Marshall University Phone: 304/696-3212 Huntington, WV 25755 FAX: 304/696-3601 -----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Tried to compile on a sun, but need the mflib.a archive (or sources thereto). If anyone can send me either (or make available via ftp) I would be grateful. Nick Cline cline@silver.ucs.indiana.edu
