This accessory converts Calamus fonts into a format that can be
used by the program CyberSculpt, written Tom Hudson.  The method to
produce these 3D letters, takes a shape and extrudes it and then all of
the tools of CyberSculpt and CAD3D can be used to manipulate the
letters.  It will only generate .TMP files, not CAD3D files.  You will
still need CyberSculpt to use this program and CAD3D for final
manipulation.
	The accessory is very easy to use.  The first dialog box asks
about the format of the letters.  CyberSculpt does not use curved lines
but rather uses short line segments to simulate curves.  The length of
these pieces is what is to be decided here.  Try normal and see how it
looks.  If you need more detail, then use fine or extra-fine.  If you
need less, then use coarse or rough.
	Now you enter the name of the font that you wish to use.  It is
important that the font be an "Outline" compatible Calamus font, that
is, one in which each letter is not made up of lots of little pieces,
like serifs or stems.  However, it will work with them.  After the
fonts has been entered, then a phrase, with less than 30 letters, is
entered for the letters that you would like to have generated. 
Finally, the extrude surfaces are made and you can then formulate the
letters.  (If the phrase has more than 30 letters, break it up into two
parts.)
	The ability to only generate the letters in a phrase is a
necessary limitation.  If it were not so, then for a typical alphabet,
there would be over 100 files that would be written, many of which
would not be needed. You do this many times and you could fill up a
hard disk or give you problems with a folder if this amount of files
were quickly generated.  If your phrase has duplicated letters, only
one will have a shape made for it.  
	The files that are written are easily deciphered as to its
contents.  Suppose the font name is BABYTETH.CFN and the phrase is
"The".  Three files would be made.  The names would be BABYTE_T.TMP
which would contain the capital 'T', BABYTELH.TMP which would contain
the lower case 'h'.  The letter 'e' is contained in BABYTELE.TMP.
	Here come the necessary disclaimers.  I am not responsible for any
errors or problems that you might have with this program.  This
includes spelling errors, typos, slight touchups, or gross misconduct. 
The program will work on all ST and TT machines. 
	Why have I written this program and put it into the public domain? 
Am I an altruistic lover of programming?  Am I an individual who wishes
to see the Atari family of computers grow and prosper?  Am I a fool? 
Am I trying to make money?  All of these are true.  I also have about
200 Calamus fonts that would look lovely in your 3D application.  Use
and abuse this program, and if you like it, send me money.  If you love
it, then buy many more fonts, not only from me but from the other
Calamus font suppliers.

Yours truly, 

Sol Guber
