---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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:

a2ac.c       ... the source text in C language
a2ac.exe     ... the executable for DOS
a2ac-eng.doc ... the English documentation
a2ac-cz.doc  ... 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        ... a UNIX script for font preparing for TeX (CS-encoding)
mkallfnt     ... a UNIX script prepares 32 standard PostScript font
test.tex     ... test for 32 standard PostScript font in Czech and Slovak.
README       ... this file

Program can be compiled in UNIX-like systems by the following line:

cc a2ac.c -lm -o a2ac

The make file is not necessary.

Copyright: Program can be free used and distributed if the package is
complete, i.e. all 11 files mentioned above are present without changes.
The program cannot be included into greater packages without author's
confirmation.
