The fonts on this disk comprise the full group of
Oriental characters digitized by A.V. Hershey
while at the Naval Weapons Research Lab., Dahlgren
Virginia.

Details of their design and use is given in a report
available from NWL entitled:

Calligraphy for Computers - Tech Report No. 2101
dated August 1, 1967.

The vectors on this disk were derived from those furnished
by the National Bureau of Standards on a standard
IBM tape - the format being intended for use by
FORTRAN programs were in absolute vector form.

SAM76 graphics functions can plot vector pairs
specified either as "absolute" or "incremental".

Since arithmetic manipulation is more readily
performed on incremental vectors, and since considerable
space was saved by having the vectors in that form, the
original set was converted.

Files on this disk are normally accessed by the SAM76
"BF" - Bring File function, and each file contains
a number of SAM76 texts whose names identify individual
vecctor lists.

This identification is of one of the following types:

A. - HEX number is value of ASCII character generated by
     particular vector list.

B. - Descriptive name - or Amer. Inst. of Physics number
     for these characters (eg: cir17 - circle diameter
     17 incremental units, or cancer for said astrological
     symbol)

C. - Decimal number between 1 and 6400+ corresponds to
     number in "Nelson's - modern Japanese
     Dictionary.

All of these digitizations are in the public domain, but
it is most strongly suggested that if they are used in any
works intended for possible publication an
appropriate notice crediting A.V. HERSHEY be suitably and
prominently included in said work.
