Howdy:
	Yesterday I asked about GREEK fonts and I got a reply from
some nice person at harvard. I found the MF files for the fonts but I
could not find the TFM/GF files. No problem, I thought, this will
force me to put up our latest version of TeX/WEB/MetaFont (TeX 2.92). 

	Well this was more work than I was counting on and, from the
distribution tape we received, it is a good thing that TeX was already
running because the build procedures used TANGLE and WEAVE! Oh well
....   Still, all SEEMS to be ok save for MetaFont. From my reading of
the documentation that I could get a hold of, MetaFont should create a
.GF, .TFM and .LOG file for each input .MF file. The .GF and .LIS (VMS)
files are created without a hitch but the .TFM files are nowhere to be
found. 

	Could some kind soul please tell me what I am doing wrong.
There does not seem to be any available option (that is documented
anyway) to control the creation of these files. I am at my wits end!

Thanx in advance,

cheers kinch
