	I have been using TeX/METAFONT for a week now and I have run into
a problem.  I would like to generate fonts (specifically cmfib8, cmdunh10,
and cmti12) for the atari screen - 96dpi.  The mode_def catari works as does
epson for epson printers.  Where do these mode_defs reside (what file)?
When I copy the lowres mode_def from plain.mf and change the pixles_per_inch
value to 96 and save the def in a file called 'screen' and issue \mode=screen;
to mf I still get tracingtitles even though that parameter is set to 0.  When
the crunching stops I get a huge file that looks like 'cm<stuff>.260' where
the 260 is a truncation of 2601 - that is, my 96dpi mode_def didn't get read
and it defaulted to the 2601dpi mode.  How do you creat a new mode_def and
install it on the system - I do not have initmf.mf.
