This program enables you to combine the advantages of object oriented
drawing (e.g. with GEM-draw) with the wonderful capabilities of
PostScript printing devices (e.g. the Apple LaserWriter). 

If you're interested in the structure of VDI-metafiles, you'll with 
'mdump' find a utility to print metafiles in a human readable form.

The package consists of three programs:

	- mfps,   program to convert VDI-metafiles to PostScript

	- mdump,  this is a link to mfps. When called, it prints
		  a human readable representation of the metafile.

	- fitps,  to change size and position of PostScript graphics.

COPYRIGHT NOTICE: 
'mfps', 'fitps' and 'mdump' are copyrighted by the author. Permission is
granted to copy and distribute the programs without charge provided
this copyright notice is included in the copy. 

IMPORTANT:
If you are planning to use mfps, fitps or mdump please send me a note.
I'll try to maintain the the programs as well as possible (i.e. as my
spare-time allows). All bug-reports and - of course - bug-fixes, as
well as suggestions for improvements are most appreciated.
