The program writes to standard output (by default) or to a file specified as \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)\&.) .PP .SH "OPTIONS" .PP .IP .IP "\fB-help\fP" display a brief summary of syntax and options .IP "\fB-verbose\fP" display progress reports .IP "\fB-version\fP" output version information and exit .IP .PP .SH "BUGS" .PP None known, but report any found to (mailing list)\&.

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\&. .RE .PP The primary authors of Omega are John Plaice and Yannis Haralambous \&. .PP This manual page was written by C\&.M\&.
