I have come into possession of something called 'xfed'.  It has a
copyright from Siemens Corp in it.  It edits .bdf files, which
is the source format from which .snf binary files are created.

It's very well done.  I don't see it in recent lists of contributed
software on uunet.uu.net or zok.uucp.  But because of its provenance,
I don't know if it's kosher to post it, or whether its Siemens 
proprietary.  If someone authoritative sets me straight, and it's
publically available, I'll submit it to comp.sources.x.
