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. + +This posting comes in several pieces.
