mf2ps is now available for anonymous ftp

This is the program described in the paper 
S. Yanai, D.M. Berry, "Environment for Translating METAFONT to PostScript",
_TUGboat_ 11:4, 525-541, 1990

mf2ps was obtained by splitting the METAFONT program into a front-end and a
back-end at precisely the point that the envelope of a character is
determined. This envelope is then output as a PostScript outline program.

It is available in compressed shar format for anonymous ftp from

shemp.cs.ucla.edu (131.179.128.34)
in file pub/mf2ps.shar.Z

Thus uncompressing it yields something to be executed by sh.

Enjoy
