                     67: The package consists of a programmer's library for creating \*(IP masters
                     68: and the following programs:
                     69: .RS
                     70: .ip "maha"
                     71: A program which converts a text file into a ``line-printer'' like 
                     72: \*(IP file.
                     73: .ip "dipress"
                     74: A program to post-process the output from typesetter-independent \*(TR
                     75: and create an \*(IP master.
                     76: .ip "iptroff"
                     77: A shell script which will call typesetter-independent \*(TR and then
                     78: ``dipress''.
                     79: .ip "iptotext"
                     80: A program to convert an encoded \*(IP master (a binary file) to a text
                     81: readable representation called ``Intertext''.
                     82: .ip "texttoip"
                     83: A program to reverse the above transformation. (i.e., turn an Intertext file
                     84: into encoded Interpress.
                     85: .ip "charset"
                     86: A program to create an \*(IP master which will image a complete character set
                     87: of a font.
                     88: .ip "ipmetrics"
                     89: A program to convert fonts metrics from the Interpress metric master format
                     90: to that of specific composing systems.
                     91: .ip "restotext"
                     92: A program to convert a RES (Raster Encoding Standard) file to a
                     93: textual representation similar to ``Intertest''.
                     94: .ip "stackres"
                     95: Execute a RES file and print the results on top of the stack.
