BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE CONTENTS

MFTOEPS: a METAFONT package for generating (encapsulated PostScript) files
         readable by CorelDRAW!(R), Adobe Illustrator(TM) and Fontographer(R).
         METAFONT writes PostScript code to a LOG-file, and from the LOG-file
         the code can be extracted by either TeX or AWK. DOS batch files,
         TeX source, and AWK source are placed in the subdirectory PROGS.

EPSTOMF: a tiny AWK script for converting EPS files into MF lingo.
         EPS files should conform the conventions of the MFTOEPS package.
         Such files are generated, e.g., by a Ghostscript utility which
         can be found in a directory: support/ps_conv/ on every CTAN
         or ftp.GUST.org.pl/pub/TeX/support/ps_conv/.

ROEX:    a set of METAFONT macros for accomplishing operations known
         as `removing overlaps' and `expanding stroke.' It can work
         with ``normal'' METAFONT programs, but is meant mainly for
         using with MFTOEPS; in this context it seems most natural.

PROGS:   a directory containing DOS batch files, AWK and TeX programs
         used by the packages listed above.
