What's available for converting Hewlett-Packard Soft Fonts to the
corresponding .PK and .TFM files?  I have HP2TEX.PAS and HP2TEX.EXE,
but the version I have produces .PXL and .PL files, and is limited to
7-bit fonts.  Is there anything better widely available?

Actually, I've finished a program of my own (written in C) that does
what I want (produces .PK and .TFM files directly, and handles 8-bit
fonts okay), and would like to know if something is already available,
(and i've wasted my time :-), or if there'd be any interest in my
posting it to the net (after some more testing).  :-) :-) :-) :-) :-)
