1.1       root        1: IPMETRICS
                      2: 
                      3: Ipmetrics converts Interpress metric masters to the form need by
                      4: specific composition systems.
                      5: 
                      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:
