I'm trying to generate .*pk's from the .mf's that someone sent me.  I've found
the file that I'm supposed to run through `mf', and I've tried both `cmmf'
and `virmf' (it shouldn't matter, as the file loads `cmbase' if it hasn't been
loaded), but I get a 600K+ log file full of error messages.

The first error message is something like 

	Incorrect `:=' replaced with `='.

(The line in which this occurs is

	if unknown cmbase: input cmbase fi

That's the third line of the file; the first two are comments.)

When I try letting it go, I get a whole bunch of messages saying that

	Transform components aren't all known.

Help--please!
