+ATTENZIONE: ***********************************************************
+
+Il programma di visualizzazione dei pixel dei caratteri su monitor,
+pixelview.exe, funziona solo con i files dei pixel "invertiti" dal
+programma flip.exe (dare il nome del file da invertire).
+
+Mentre la QMS lavora con entrambi i tipi di pixel files, la LN03 lavora
+solo con quelli ottenuti dai pixel files, tramite il programma FFC.exe,
+che non legge pixelview.exe!!!!
+
+************************************************************************
+
+
+
+
+These programs and com files will allow you to read a distribution tape
+from Stanford and insert them in the pixel directory. file1.;1 and file3.;1
+are the files from the TeX1.1 tapes obtain on August 27, 1984 from
+Maria Code.
+
+ Flip.exe will flip the order of the bytes in a pixel directory
+so that the order within 32 bit words is DEC or non-DEC format. dviqms can
+read pixel files in either order without help from the user. In DEC format
+dviqms is slightly faster, but if you have a versetec or other driver that
+requires the fonts in non-DEC order you may need it. Check the files via
+a dump command for the first word (currently 101).
+
+ Pack.exe will convert 8-byte records of pixel files into 512 bytes. It
+uses fixformat.com, or rather fixform.com uses pack to accomplish this. The
+pixel tape can be read by using read.com. read.com reads the 8192byte records
+as 8-byte records. This seems to be the easy out since the Stanford tape has
+some short records at the end of each pixel. You can use file1.;1 from the
+pixel tape and edt to accomplish this task.
+
+ Of course these steps will not be needed if you are a normal user.
