+.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 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 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 command line has one required file name and two optional file names.
+The required
+one is a \*(MF source file; there is also an optional change file
+(which works just as the change files to
+.BR tangle (1)
+and
+.BR weave (1)
+do)
+and an optional style file (which is prepended to everything).
+.PP
+A file name that doesn't contain a dot is always given an extension,
+either
+.I .mf
+(\*(MF) or
+.I .ch
+(change) or
+.I .mft
+(style). If no style file is specified, the style file
+.I plain.mft
+is automatically used. The
+.I change_file_name
+is not searched for using any paths. The
+.I .mf
+file is searched for using the MFINPUTS environment variable if you
+have set it, or else the system default. The style file is searched
+for using the TEXINPUTS environment variable. See
+.BR tex (1)
+for the details of the searching.
+.PP
+The output \*(TX file name is formed by using
+.I .tex
+in place of the extension of
+.IR mf_file_name .
+.\"=====================================================================
+.SH OPTIONS

+.B \-c

+Donald E. Knuth wrote the program, and he ported it to Unix with the help of
+Pierre MacKay and the Unix port of
+.B weave

+The program is published in the
+.I \*(MFware
+technical report, available from the \*(TX Users Group.
