Last week I sent a message about problems I am having with a commercial
program called ALIS.  I recently installed X11R4 which expects ".snf" fonts
but for my Vaxstation 3200 the copy of ALIS that I got came with ".pcf" fonts
because DEC has this different font format.  Rather than deal with support at
ALIS (which is actually pretty good) to possibly get a new set of fonts which
will work with my R4 server, I would like to attempt a direct conversion
>from the ".pcf" fonts that came with ALIS (which don't work) to ".snf" fonts
(which should work.)  So, does anyone out there have any suggestions as to
how I might write such a program myself or has anyone written one?  Is there
a source where I can find out the format of the ".pcf" font file?  

Can anyone PLEASE help me?

Thanks in advance.
