This is TeXtyl, a post-processor for TeX, which
allows you to typeset graphic line-drawings in
a device-independent manner. It makes use of the \special
facility of TeX to insert commands into the original
 .DVI file produced by TeX, and post-processes that
file, producing another .DVI file for spooling to 
your favorite printer.

TeXtyl is written in Pascal because of portability
requirements while under development at Ohio State.  For that
reason, the main portion is one monolithic file, with hooks
into Unix (in a manner similar to that of  "dvitype").  The
original TeXtyl has/had the ability to typeset musical beams.
The enclosed version does not have that ability for reasons of
space and utility. If you feel that you really need it, write
to me at the address below.  Positive suggestions and
ideas for improvements are welcomed, as are actual
improvements to the code.

Also included is the TeXtyl manual, describing
how to use TeXtyl. It is a LaTeX document, using
TeXtyl-commands for examples. It is also available
as a technical report from Ohio State University's
Computer & Information Sciences Dept. at
1036 Neil Avenue, Columbus, OH 43210. 
TR #OSU-CISRC-4/87-TR9.  The current version has the
added flexiblity of patterned lines, which is not
reflected in the OSU report.

Finally, in a subsequent posting, are the vector fonts
for actually typesetting the graphic figures. Although
given at a 300dpi resolution, the fonts were created
for device-independence. The file "vecbase.mf" is
included, but has not been translated to the newer
version of Metafont. See the TeXtyl manual for 
implementation details of the vector fonts.
