+\section{The {\tt Cheq} Font}
+
+This directory contains a PostScript chess font released by Adobe
+Systems and acquired from the Unix newsgroup {\tt comp.sources.misc}
+on 11th July 1989. The following text is taken from the information
+accompanying the distribution. Note that several of the files have
+been renamed for insertion into the archive. In addition to the files
+mentioned below, there is a \LaTeX\ style file, {\tt cheq.sty}, which
+provides definitions for the various chess pieces.
+
+\medskip
+
+This is a posting of the Adobe chess font `Cheq'. It is being licensed
+to you royalty-free by Adobe Systems, Inc., for your use and not for
+sale to others. This font software is provided as is and Adobe
+disclaims all warranties, including merchantability and fitness for a
+particular purpose.
+
+This current release is in five parts:
+
+\begin{enumerate}
+ \item the ascii version of the downloadable font (cheq.ps)
+ \item the Font Metrics (AFM) file, the TeX .PL file, and an
+ example text file using Cheq (example.ps)
+ \item the Macintosh printer font in Binhex'd compressed StuffIt
+ format (cheq-f.sit-hqx)
+ \item the Macintosh screen fonts (10,11,12,14,16,18, and 24 point)
+ in NFNT resource format in Binhex'd compressed StuffIt format
+ (cheq-sf.sit-hqx)
+ \item Macintosh text examples of Cheq in Binhex'd compressed StuffIt
+ format (cheq-txt.sit-hqx)
+\end{enumerate}
+
+The IBM PC version of the font (for Windows and Ventura Publisher) are
+not yet completely tested and will posted at a later date.
+
+All `Cheq' data will be available on CompuServe and also the Adobe
+PS fileserver (send e-mail to {\tt ps-file-server@adobe.com} containing
+the word {\tt help} for more information).
+
+If you need the bitmap files in their original ascii format for
+conversion into another format, please contact me.
+
+As a personal request: If you like Cheq, and decide to use it, please
+drop me a line letting me know. I just want to know how many people
+actually are interested in this font, and if it was worth all my spare time.
