AUTHOR
According to the WEB documentation:
The first PLtoTF program was designed by Leo Guibas in the sum-
mer of 1978. Contributions by Frank Liang, Doug Wyatt, and Lyle
Ramshaw also had a significant effect on the evolution of the
present code.
Extensions for an enhanced ligature mechanism were added by D.E.
Knuth in 1989.
Extensions to handle extended font metric files (``OFM'') were
added by John Plaice in December 1995 and January 1996, result-
ing in the new program OPL2OFM.
The primary authors of Omega were John Plaice and Yannis Haralambous.
Omega (and Aleph) are now maintained as part of TeX Live.
This manual page was written by C.M. Connelly for the Debian GNU/Linux
system. It is also now maintained as part of TeX Live.
