       (opl2ofm is based on the WEB source code for pltotf(1).)

AUTHOR
       According to the WEB documentation:

	      The first PLtoTF program was designed by Leo Guibas in the  sum‐
	      mer of 1978.  Contributions by Frank Liang, Doug Wyatt, and Lyle
	      Ramshaw also had a significant effect on the  evolution  of  the
	      present code.

	      Extensions for an enhanced ligature mechanism were added by D.E.
	      Knuth in 1989.

	      Extensions to handle extended font metric files  (``OFM'')  were
	      added  by John Plaice in December 1995 and January 1996, result‐
	      ing in the new program OPL2OFM.

       The primary authors of Omega are John  Plaice  <plaice@cse.unsw.edu.au>
       and Yannis Haralambous <yannis@fluxus-virus.com>.
