- 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.

- Archiver's note
-
- This program is known to work on BSD type systems. Ports to WEB, C and
- other OSes are encouraged. Remember to send changes to the author
- first.
-
- I have taken the liberty of making some changes. In three places (twice
- in the docs, once in the program) I have changed the fonts from am to
- cm. I have edited texpaths.h to be more typical. Installers should use
- the same texpaths.h as TeX uses. The fonts are in pk format (more
- compact).
