73 files can be edited, with care, and then restored
74 to DVI form for processing by any \*(Te\& DVI
75 driver program. In DTL files, font directory names
76 and font names are preceded by a length field,
77 which must be updated if the names are modified.

81 files, but in some implementations at least, it
82 cannot be used in batch mode, and its output is
83 not well-suited for conversion back to a DVI file.
