+This is TeXtyl, a post-processor for TeX, which
+allows you to typeset graphic line-drawings in
+a device-independent manner. It makes use of the \special
+facility of TeX to insert commands into the original
+ .DVI file produced by TeX, and post-processes that
+file, producing another .DVI file for spooling to
+your favorite printer.
+
+TeXtyl is written in Pascal because of portability
+requirements while under development at Ohio State. For that
+reason, the main portion is one monolithic file, with hooks
+into Unix (in a manner similar to that of "dvitype"). The
+original TeXtyl has/had the ability to typeset musical beams.
+The enclosed version does not have that ability for reasons of
+space and utility. If you feel that you really need it, write
+to me at the address below. Positive suggestions and
+ideas for improvements are welcomed, as are actual
+improvements to the code.
+
+Also included is the TeXtyl manual, describing
+how to use TeXtyl. It is a LaTeX document, using
+TeXtyl-commands for examples. It is also available
+as a technical report from Ohio State University's
+Computer & Information Sciences Dept. at
+1036 Neil Avenue, Columbus, OH 43210.
+TR #OSU-CISRC-4/87-TR9. The current version has the
+added flexiblity of patterned lines, which is not
+reflected in the OSU report.
+
+Finally, in a subsequent posting, are the vector fonts
+for actually typesetting the graphic figures. Although
+given at a 300dpi resolution, the fonts were created
+for device-independence. The file "vecbase.mf" is
+included, but has not been translated to the newer
+version of Metafont. See the TeXtyl manual for
+implementation details of the vector fonts.
