        !             2: 
        !             3: Ipmetrics converts Interpress metric masters to the form need by
        !             4: specific composition systems.

        !             6: HOW TO ADD A NEW COMPOSITION SYSTEM
        !             7: 
        !             8: To make it easier to add new output capability to ipmetrics, the
        !             9: interface from the executor has been simplified.  Each composition
        !            10: system that is supported by ipmetrics is listed in the file
        !            11: "conf.c".  Basically, for eack system three procedures are provided:
        !            12:        one that is called for initialization
        !            13:        one that is called for each property vector
        !            14:        one that is called to clean-up
        !            15: In addition, a boolean flag is given to determine whether a configuration
        !            16: file should be read from the standard input or not.  If the configuration
        !            17: file is read, then it is placed in a linked list of structures.  The
        !            18: structures are defined in "config.h".
        !            19: 
        !            20: The initialization  and clean-up procedures are called with a pointer
        !            21: to the chain of font descriptors.  The procedure to handle each
        !            22: vector is called with the configuration chain and the vector.
        !            23:
