This is a beta test version of a C port of Renner's TeXtyl, done using Dave Gillespie's p2c and some manual touchup. I hope users will report problems they encounter with getting it working it on various systems so that I can improve the portability of this code. There are a couple of differences in usage from the manual. This version takes arguments from the command line this way: textyl dvi-in dvi-out Messages are sent to standard output. No tlog file is generated. To compile for your machine, edit the font path in defs.h (DEFTEXFONTS) before doing a make. If the environment variable TEXFONTS is defined at runtime, textyl will use that path. The original Pascal source is in psrc/ in case you want to check how it was done. doc/ contains the source for the manual. DVI files of the manual, both in TeXtyl form and post-processed form are included for regression testing, and for printing. The VMS part of the original distribution is not included. If you still want that, contact me directly. A contributed MF84 version of the vector fonts is in vecfonts/mf. Now it is possible to generate fonts for non-300 dpi devices. Send all bug reports on this beta version to ken@syd.dit.csiro.au. 27 August 1991
