69 files can be edited, with care, and then restored

72 and font names are preceded by a length field,
73 which must be updated if the names are modified.

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