Therefore, it will not work without change on an arbitrary WEB program.
Availability: All of Web2c is freely available--"free" both in the
sense of no cost (free ice cream) and of having the source code to

Different parts of the Web2c distribution have different licensing
terms, however, reflecting the different circumstances of their
creation; consult each source file for exact details. The main
practical implication for redistributors of Web2c is that the

- horizontal pixels times 2^16. The `(65)' is simply the same number
+ horizontal pixels times 2^16. The '(65)' is simply the same number
rounded. If the vertical escapement is nonzero, it would appear
- here as a `dy' value.
+ here as a 'dy' value.
-`width'
+'width'
The device-independent (TFM) width of this character. It is 2^24
times the ratio of the true width to the font's design size. The
- `64.57289' is the same number converted to pixels.
+ '64.57289' is the same number converted to pixels.
-`loc'
