<I might have a need in the future to display rotated text.  I noticed the
<"xvertext" package on the net.  It looks very good, but it has one slight
<problem.  The API to it assumes you have a font name, not an already loaded
<font.  It shouldn't be too difficult to split up the function into two
<interface routines, one with a font name, and one with an XFontStruct, but
<I thought I would ask the author (Alan Richardson
<(mppa3@uk.ac.sussex.syma)) first in case he was planning this already.
<Unfortunately, his email address bounced.  Does Alan R. or the current
<maintainer of "xvertext" see this?

The e-mail address you mentioned above is for use with the U.K.  As you know,
the Brits do everything backwards :-)  So, the real address from the states is:

	mppa3@syma.sussex.ac.uk

Give it a try.
