                                                         script.six

Script.six is a small sixel file that you can view on a vax
using the type command on an approriate terminal (Smokey
will do it).  


Script.arc contains a character set for use with Sculpt-3D
in the form of script files.  There are 68 individual files
defining characters A thru Z both upper and lower case,
numerals 0 - 9 , and some miscellaneous charcacters.  

Usage:  Unarc files and make them available somewhere on
your system.  Then with Scupt-3D running select PROJECT-
LOAD-SCRIPT from the menu.  Type the path to the script file
in the drawer gadget then select the appropriate filename. 
The script should load in a couple of seconds.  The
characters will be created at a very small scale so while
all the vertices are selected choose the menu option DO-
EXPAND and click on the 2X gadget about a half a dozen
times.  Notice that the lower left corner of the character
cell is at absolute zero.  Select the grab gadget and drag
the character off to the side and choose menu selection
EDIT-DESELECT-ALL.  Repeat above proceedure until all
desired characters have been created.  Now you can use
sculpt's tools to drag, scale, fill, extrude, etc.

    I downloaded the fonts and tried them last night.  They look really
    great.  Thanks for posting them Steve.
