vecbase.mf is the original MF79 source. vecbase2.mf is the MF84 source provided by a kind reader of the TeX newsgroup. The .bat files are for an Amiga ST. I have written a simple Unix sh script that creates wrapper jobs for all 36 vector fonts. If you are using a backend like dvips, all you have to do is put these MF wrappers and vecbase2.mf where MF can find them and the backend will fire up MF to create the fonts as needed. Of course you also need to install the tfm files in ../ where TeX can find them.
