This is a beta test version of a C port of Renner's TeXtyl, done using
Dave Gillespie's p2c and some manual touchup.  I hope users will report
problems they encounter with getting it working it on various systems
so that I can improve the portability of this code.

There are a couple of differences in usage from the manual. This
version takes arguments from the command line this way:

	textyl dvi-in dvi-out

Messages are sent to standard output. No tlog file is generated.

To compile for your machine, edit the font path in defs.h (DEFTEXFONTS)
before doing a make. If the environment variable TEXFONTS is defined at
runtime, textyl will use that path.

The original Pascal source is in psrc/ in case you want to check how it
was done. doc/ contains the source for the manual. DVI files of the
manual, both in TeXtyl form and post-processed form are included for
regression testing, and for printing. The VMS part of the original
distribution is not included. If you still want that, contact me
directly.

A contributed MF84 version of the vector fonts is in vecfonts/mf. Now
it is possible to generate fonts for non-300 dpi devices.

Send all bug reports on this beta version to ken@syd.dit.csiro.au.
