Ward's program is superb, and could become standard for PCs.  But at 
present it only reads the .PXL font format.  I have talked to Steve on the
phone, and he agreed to put .PK support into DVIEW if I sent him the spec.
I have done this, and also sent him the Beebe source for version 2.10 of 
the DVI family.  I hope this will encourage Steve (ahem! Professor Ward) to
put .PK into DVIEW.  He is a *very* busy man.

The current version of DVIEW is 2.5.  So later versions may have .PK
support.  I suggest that we hold on for a bit, before making masses of 
.PXL files for ourselves, and see whether Prof. Ward will do his magic 
quickly.
