METAFONT and METAFONTware VERSION: 15.09.1990
==============================================================================

Notational conventions:

Placeholders for information to be supplied by you
are enclosed in angle brackets. Don't type the
angle brackets.

[] Optional items are enclosed in square brackets
and can be omitted. Don't type the square brackets.

All other characters must be typed as shown. Example:

gftopk [ []]

The GFtoPK program can be used as follows:

gftopk (interactive input of arguments)
gftopk cmr10 converting cmr10.gf -> cmr10.pk
gftopk cmr10 new converting cmr10.gf -> new.pk

Default extensions:


Usually, file names have two parts: the base name and the extension
(file type). The base name and the extension are separated by a
period. All programs described in this document automatically supply
a default extension, if you don't give an extension.

Interactive input of arguments:

The programs described in this document (METAFONT and MFjob are
exceptions) can be run without command line arguments. If run without
command line arguments, the programs will prompt you for all the arguments.
Default values are given in square brackets. If you hit the
key without giving a response, the default value will be used. Default
file names are displayed with the default extension. Example:

Output file [cmr8.pk] =

Default response: cmr8.pk
Default extension: .pk


Giving only a drive name or directory name

Some programs accept a drive name or directory name (ending with
a : or \ character). This drive name or directory name will be
prepended to the default file name (this doesn't work for the first
file name argument). This feature can be used both on the command line
and with interactive input of arguments. Example:

gftopk cmr10 d:\new\ Converting cmr10.gf -> d:\new\cmr10.pk


CHtoPX 1 [1f] (DOS & OS/2)
======

Converts chr files into pxl files (see also PXtoCH). (pxl files are obsolete
and should no longer be used.)

Usage:

Default extension for pxl file: .pxl
It's possible to give a drive name or directory name for .



GFtoDVI 3.0 [1g] (DOS & OS/2)
=======

    Very nice! Thank you for this wonderful archive. I wonder why I found it only now. Long live the BBS file archives!

    This is so awesome! 😀 I’d be cool if you could download an entire archive of this at once, though.

    But one thing that puzzles me is the “mtswslnkmcjklsdlsbdmMICROSOFT” string. There is an article about it here. It is definitely worth a read: http://www.os2museum.com/wp/mtswslnk/
