Has anybody successfully compiled and gotten to work the Hershey Font utilities as posted tocomp.sources.unix during the past year? These programs seem to be written for BSD, and I lack the experience to convert them over. Thanks! Wolf Paul wnp@chinet convex!mcomp!dcs!wnp killer!dcs!wnp (soon! I hope)

I hope) If they are the ones I was playing with, well, they didn't compile on bsd4.2. There was, as I recall, a necessary system utility missing, and I wasn't able to construct a replacement within (what I determined to be) a reasonable amount of time - so I deleted them. Sorry. Hope somebody else had better luck.. -- William Swan {ihnp4,decvax,allegra,...}!uw-beaver!tikal!sigma!bill

hershtools are you talking about? That was my posting. I'm sorry about
the sysV problem -- my ignorance. But I compiled the things on both
and Ultrix 1.2 system and on Sun 3.2, so I don't see why there should be
a problem on bsd4.2. If someone mails me particulars, I'll try to fix it.
