        !            15: .I Ipmetrics
        !            16: executes the Interpress metric masters given on the command line and converts
        !            17: the results to the metrics formats for various composition systems.
        !            18: Currently the system will produce metrics for Troff, TeX, or a generic system.
        !            19: .PP
        !            20: The following options are understood:
        !            21: .TP
        !            22: .B \-c
        !            23: is used to set which composition system the output is for.  Current
        !            24: arguments are troff, tex, toc, and generic.  ``toc'' means table of contents.
        !            25: .TP
        !            26: .B \-d
        !            27: option specifies the final destination of the output metrics files.
        !            28: This program
        !            29: doesn't place the metrics files there immediately, it uses this option to
        !            30: help generate a shell script to do the installation.  The default for this
        !            31: option is site dependent.
        !            32: .PP
        !            33: In other than ``toc'' mode,
        !            34: the standard input is a description of the mapping from the
        !            35: font names in the metric master to target font names.  The standard-input
        !            36: is token-based where tokens are seperated by white space.  A "#" in column
        !            37: one (1) indicates a comment.  The first token on the standard input must
        !            38: be "device" followed by the name of the target device.  Each line
        !            39: after that contains the description of one font.  Each of these lines
        !            40: has five (5)
        !            41: tokens in it.  The first three are the full universal name of the font,
        !            42: the next is the name as it's known to the destination composition system
        !            43: and the last token names a file that will contain the mapping specification
        !            44: for the font.  That file  will specify how to translate from the metric
        !            45: master's character set (usually XC1-1-1) to that of the destination system.
        !            46: Note that a font in the metrics master can be named multiple times to create
        !            47: several logical fonts for one physical font.  Example:
        !            48: .RS
        !            49: # this is a commment
        !            50: .br

        !            59: .PP
        !            60: The *.map files are used to map between XC1\-1\-1 and the destination system.
        !            61: Each line should specify a different character in the 16 bit character space.
        !            62: The first token specifies the high-order eight bits in octal and the
        !            63: second token the
        !            64: low-order eight bits (again in octal).  The third byte specifies the Troff
        !            65: ascender/descender
        !            66: information and the rest of the line specifies various names for that
        !            67: character.  Example:
