Many changes to the +scripts were made with Piet to get proper checksums in the fonts, and +make the system more understandable and reliable. They were then +converted to Perl in January 1997 as part of a radical revision, and +they are now hopefully useable. There should be almost no +Unix-dependent material here. + +The makefile gives examples of their usage, or you +can start reading make-fam.pl, most of whose work is done +by subroutines in famtool.pl. + +Volunteers to turn this into a serious Perl tool, and to +document it, are very welcome! + +Sebastian Rahtz <s.rahtz@elsevier.co.uk> +Piet Tutelaers +December 1995 + +Sebastian Rahtz +January/February 1997; September 1997; July 1998 |
