               We are finished! After a lot of trouble

                              UMRAND.STY

                            and the fonts

                       UMRANDA.MF + UMRANDB.MF

                             version 1.2

are ready for use! This is the first officially distributed version.
With UMRAND.STY you can typeset fancy frames in TeX. This can by done
with \fbox too? Well no one of this type:

                    *+++*+++*+++*+++*+++*+++*+++*
                    +                           +
                    +      TeX & METAFONT       +
                    *            for            *
                    +         President!        +
                    +                           +
                    *+++*+++*+++*+++*+++*+++*+++*

Instead of + and * there are line elements, meander, fishes, snakes,
flowers, curls and many others in our fonts. The framesize is
automatically computed in respect of the frame's contents. Many
combinations of frame elements are possible.

One restriction we had to made: The fonts only work on devices with
equal x- and y-resolution. With 180x360dpi you will run into
problems. A little comfort: You should try. You may be able to use
some of the chars in our fonts. We don't know, whether that will
change in the future.

PS: Here you see, what we are doing at our ``table reserved for
    regular guests'' (Langenscheid dictionary, "`Stammtisch"' in
    German) in Wuppertal, Germany.

We, that are in this case:
