% It is customary to input another file to supplement the PLAIN base.
% This supplementary file adds analogous modes, corresponding to
% local output devices, and it redefines `localfont' as appropriate.
% The values of screen_rows and screen_cols should also be updated.
% The auxiliary file should set base_version:=base_version&"/localname".
% Remember that the present file PLAIN.MF should not be changed;
% all local changes should be confined to a separate file.
