+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.B mft
+.RI [ OPTIONS ]
+.BR \fImf_file_name\fP [ .mf | .mp ]
+.\"=====================================================================
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+This manual page is not meant to be exhaustive. The complete
+documentation for this version of \*(TX can be found in the info file
+or manual
+.IR "Web2C: A TeX implementation" .
+.PP
+The
+.B mft
+program creates a \*(TX file from a \*(MF or \*(MP program.
+It takes appropriate care of typographic details like page
+layout and the use of indentation, italics, boldface, etc., as illustrated
+in the book
+.IR "Computer Modern Typefaces" .
+Special conventions in \*(MF and \*(MP comments allow you to control things that
+would not otherwise come out right; section 1 of the MFT source program
+in the
+.I \*(MFware
+report explains these rules.
+.PP
+The
+.B mft
+program uses an optional change file (which works just as the change files to
+.BR tangle (1)
+and
+.BR weave (1)
+do)
+and one or several style files (which are prepended to everything).
+If no style file is specified, the style file
+.B plain.mft
+for \*(MF (or
+.B mplain.mft
+for \*(MP) is automatically used.
+.PP
+The
+.IR mf_file_name ,
+optional
+.IR change_file_name ,
+and
+.I style_file_name
+files are searched for using the MFINPUTS (for \*(MF) or MPINPUTS (for
+\*(MP) and MFTINPUTS environment variables if you have set them, or else the
+corresponding system defaults.
+.PP
+The output \*(TX file name is formed by using
+.B .tex
+in place of the extension of
+.IR mf_file_name .
+.\"=====================================================================
+.SH OPTIONS
+.TP
+.BI \-change= change_file_name \fR[\fP.ch\fR]\fP

+Assume
+.I mf_file_name
+is a \*(MP source file (this is the default if
+.I mf_file_name
+has the extension
+.BR .mp ).
+.PP
+.TP
+.BI \-style= style_file_name \fR[\fP.mft\fR]\fP
+Use the style file
+.I style_file_name
+insted of
+.B plain.mft
+(or
+.BR mplain.mft );
+this option can be given more than once.

+technical report, available from the \*(TX Users Group.
