Don's column is back in the computer shopper.  He has a Genie address,
but no usenet code.  His phone number is 602-248-4073 (Stafford Arizona).

Don has a simple routine he calls curvetrace that takes a coordinate pair
and an angle as a triad in an array of triads, and does curvetos between them.
Don does signatures, by taking the signature, determining where the knots
(end points) should be for each spline, and measuring the tangent angle for
the end points.  These then get entered into an array, and used in his
curvetracing routines.  The results are very nice.  One of the many things
that I do is converting logos and signatures to Postscript.  I general just
use Arts&Letters to create the splines.

Cheers
Woody
