AUTHOR
       According to the WEB documentation:

	      The first PLtoTF program was designed by Leo Guibas in the summer 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, resulting in
	      the new program OPL2OFM.
