I think it might have been "hershtools". As I recall it looked like a very
interesting package, and I was eager to get it going (so was another fellow
here who was after the cyrillic font!).

Unfortunately there was a shell-script, involved in some phase of putting 
the package together on the recipient system, which used a utility not 
present in our Berkeley distributions. Everything up to that point worked
just fine. I didn't have time to create a version of the absent utility, and
got put under pressure to reduce disk space, so I reluctantly deleted it all.

I have forgotten the utility's name, it's been so long. Sorry..
