i thought i'd try to install mf on my unix machine because
i need to do the conversion .mf -> .gf and inimf doesn't
seem to do it (maybe someone can explain the diff b/w mf and
inimf?). i don't have the metafont book.

anyway, so i went into the uwashington site (byron something)
and the readme file said that the utilityfonts tar file has
the source code for mf.
these are the dir i got by untarring utilityfons.tar:

bases/
black/
committee/
gf/
gray/
half/
list
logo/
manualfonts/
mfbook/
pk/
slant/

it's not obvious to me where the source code is. most of the files are
of the .mf type. can someone explain?
