% AMSMODES.MF
% This file is based on Stanford's WAITS.mf.  A few extra modes
% are added and the file CURMODE.mf is input at the end if
% the variable "mode" is unknown.

% This file can be loaded after PLAIN.MF.
% It introduces conventions that are commonly used at WAITS.
base_version:=base_version&"/WAITS";

% The WAITS implementation allows an extended character set;
% characters :=, <=, <>, and >= are put into the class with <, =, >, :, and |;
% character ^^L (form feed) is in a class by itself, and is like an "outer" \.
% Files containing these special characters should not be expected to work
% elsewhere unless the following replacements are made:
  let <= = <=;
  let <> = <>;
  let >= = >=;
  let := = :=;

% We make the following modification of "mode_def" from PLAIN in order
% to accomodate modes not preloaded in MF.  Even though mode had been
% set dependently on the command line (as with mode=talaris), when
% mode_def came along to define "talaris" the assignment operator
% (:=) wiped out that dependency and left mode hanging and undefined
% when mode_setup was called.  We simply add a test to see whether
% "mode" has been set to the mode being defined.

% Furthermore, if mode was set to a mode which was preloaded and
% that mode was re-defined at run-time, the value of mode would
% only pick up the old definition.  So, for the other case,
% that the mode being defined already has a numeric realization,
% we avoid redefining that mode's (behind-the-scenes) value.

% We also add the following macros to enable conditional "and"
% and "or".  See The MEtafontBook, pp.288-9
