+\fIOFMFILE\fP\&.
+.PP
+The program also works with TeX PL files, producing TeX TFM files\&.
+(\fBopl2ofm\fP is based on the WEB source code for \fBpltotf\fP(1)\&.)

+The first \fBPLtoTF\fP program was designed by Leo Guibas in the
+summer of 1978\&. Contributions by Frank Liang, Doug Wyatt, and Lyle
+Ramshaw also had a significant effect on the evolution of the present
+code\&.
+.PP
+Extensions for an enhanced ligature mechanism were added by D\&.E\&. Knuth
+in 1989\&.
+.PP
+Extensions to handle extended font metric files (``OFM\&'\&') were added
+by John Plaice in December 1995 and January 1996, resulting in the new
+program \fBOPL2OFM\fP\&.
