Actually, what it is for is saving time in uploading files that use
lots of non-standard fonts, by letting you cache them in your UNIX
directory. I assume this is what the person meant, and here is the
problem:

There are two parts to the program, a UNIX side and a Mac side. The
file you listed above is only the UNIX side. The Mac side has,
apparently, dropped out of the archive again. *sigh*

If you want the Mac side, contact me directly.
