This file belongs to the ROEX package.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

OVERVIEW

The package ROEX belongs to the public domain. You are entitled to do with
the files of which it consists whatever you wish. If you alter a file,
however, please remove the line containing the comment

              `This file belongs to the ROEX package.'

in order to avoid a mess.

The ROEX.MF file contains a set of METAFONT macros accomplishing the
task of removing overlaps and expanding strokes. The algorithm was
suggested by Stefan Soko\l{}owski, the implementation was done
by Bogus\l{}aw Jackowski, Piotr Pianowski and Marek Ry\'cko.

The operations of removing overlaps and expanding strokes are especially
useful in context of PostScript, hence all examples make use of the MFTOEPS
package; however, PostScript here is not essential.

Detailed description of the macros can be found in the file ROEX.MF,
examples of using the package can be found in the subdirectory ROEXSAMP.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

ENCOURAGEMENT

The inspection of the source code of the ROEX.MF program may reveal
a few more useful macros.
