Thanks to *ALL* of you who have told me that tfm files can be generated for
other typesetters!  However, now that this has be answered, can you see TeX
used for publishing 45,000+ pages each year (the real meaning behind my note)?
Remember, these papers have to include pictures (pic), tables (tbl), and 
the ability of typesetting 3-page nuclear physics mathematical proofs (eqn)
in some sane matter so that we don't drive a whole past-up department batty!

PLEASE stop flooding the net/my mail box with info on tfm files :-) now that
I do know about them!  THANKS!!!!!!
