I've FTPed the change file for MF from ymir.claremont.edu. Everything
compiles and runs properly under our VMS system except for MF's setting
of the JOBSIZE_SYMBOL. Take a look at the problem, here is a sample run:
VaxA. mf "\mode:=lnthree; input logo10"
This is METAFONT, Version 2.7 [PD VMS 2.1a] (preloaded base=plain 91.1.2)
(PUBDISK:[SAIEVA.YMIR.MF.INPUTS]LOGO10.MF;1
(PUBDISK:[SAIEVA.YMIR.MF.INPUTS]LOGO.MF;1 [77] [69] [84] [65] [70] [79]
[78]) )
Font metrics written on PUBDISK:[SAIEVA.YMIR.MF]LOGO10.TFM;3.
Output written on PUBDISK:[SAIEVA.YMIR.MF]LOGO10.300GF;2 (7 characters, 808 byt
es).
Transcript written on PUBDISK:[SAIEVA.YMIR.MF]LOGO10.LIS;5.
VaxA. sh sym mf*
MF_JOBNAME == "logo10"
MF_JOBSIZE == "logo10"
VaxA.
According to the documentation for mf.ch, MF_JOBSIZE should contain the
value 300, ie, the numeric portion of the gf file which it writes. I'm
using mf.cld but I haven't yet modified the command tables; I'm currently
defining the MF verb by using SET COMMAND MF when I login. We are running
VMS 5.3. Does this valuable feature work on anyone else's system?
Sal.
