It's much easier for\nboth programs and humans to create the (plain text) property list files\nand let VPtoVF take care of creating the binary VF and TFM equivalents\nthan to output them directly.  Synopsis:\n\nvptovf [OPTION]... VPLFILE[.vpl] [VFFILE[.vf] [TFMFILE[.tfm]]]\n\nIf VFFILE (extended with '.vf' if necessary) is not specified, the VF\noutput is written to the basename of 'VPLFILE.vf'; similarly for\nTFMFILE.  For example, 'vptovf /wherever/ptmr.vpl' creates './ptmr.vf'\nand './ptmr.tfm'.\n\nThe only options are '-verbose', '-help', and '-version' (*note\nCommon options::).\n"
