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.
