a2ac, ver. 1.1, Feb 1998,  Petr Olsak (Ol\v{s}\'ak), olsak@math.feld.cvut.cz
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

The program a2ac (Afm To Afm plus Composites) enables to use
PostScript fonts while typesetting texts in languages where accented
letters are used. The font doesn't need to contain complete alphabet
of a given language; the presence of mere accents themselves (no whole
accented characters) is sufficient. The configuration files of the
a2ac program are independent on the PostScript font encoding and on
the typesetting system encoding. The program may be used to prepare a
font for any typesetting system, but only \TeX{} was tested. Program
was compiled for operation systems SUN OS, Linux and on DOS. May be, the
program will work in others systems with C compiler.

This package included following files:

Makefile     ... source for make program
a2ac.c       ... the source text in C language
a2ac.man     ... base of a manual page (in Czech language, sorry)
a2ac-eng.txt ... the English documentation
a2ac-cz.txt  ... the Czech documentation
cscorr.tab   ... an example of config file for a2ac (for Czech and Slovak)
xl2.enc      ... enc file for afm2tfm (\rm-like CS-encoding)
xt2.enc      ... enc file for afm2tfm (\tt-like CS-encoding)
mkfnt.sh     ... base of a UNIX script for font preparing for TeX (CS-encoding)
mkallfnt     ... a UNIX script for preparing of 32 standard PostScript font
test8z.tex   ... test for 32 standard PostScript font in Czech and Slovak.
a2ac.exe     ... the DOS executable
README       ... this file

Program can be compiled and installed in UNIX-like systems by the
following commands:

    1) Makefile editing
    2) make
    3) su
    4) make install

Copyright: Program can be free used and distributed if the package is
complete, i.e. all 13 files mentioned above are present without changes.
The program cannot be included into greater packages without author's
confirmation.

The bug reports send me to my addres olsak@math.feld.cvut.cz, please.

I want to reiterate my thanks to Rudolf Cejka, who found some little
bugs in version 1.0 of my program and who prepared the Makefile and the
Czech manual page for this package.

Notice: An article about this program was sent to TUG-boat editor and Czech
variant to TeXbulletin editor in 1995.
