Well, being in need of such a beast myself, I ported one.  I would be more
than willing to post the source/executable, but don't have Internet access
or access to comp.{sources,binaries}.amiga; nor would my company much
appreciate multiple transfers of large mail messages.

The program itself is small enough, but there are a *huge* number of gf
font definition files that go with it.  Are these needed, or can everyone
just generate them through Metafont?

Let me know if you want the code, and how I can provide it for everyone
without huge numbers of multi-meg transfers...
