NAME
       ams2psf - convert an Amstrad CP/M font to a PC Screen Font file.

SYNOPSIS
       ams2psf	[--codepage=CODEPAGE]  [--psf1]	 [--psf2]  [INPUTFILE [OUTPUT-
       FILE]]
DESCRIPTION
       ams2psf converts	a file,	presumed to contain an Amstrad CP/M  font,  to
       the .PSF	format.

       psf2ams(1) or the PCW utilities SETFONT and LETAFONT, raw fonts of size
       2048  or	 4096 bytes. If	none of	these applies, ams2psf will search for
       the first 8 bytes of the	standard PCW font within the input file;  this
       will  locate  a	font,  provided	that character zero has	not been rede-
       fined. This allows the font to be extracted from	a CP/M (or  LocoScript
       1) system file.

OPTIONS
       --codepage=CODEPAGE
	      Add a Unicode directory for the specified	codepage, which	can be
	      identified  by  number  or  name.	 See psfpages(1) for a list of
	      valid codepage names.

       --psf1 Force output in the PSF1 format.

       --psf2 Force output in the PSF2 format (default).

BUGS
       The font	search algorithm will produce odd results on EMS files used by
       LocoScript 2 and	higher,	since they store characters in a different or-
       der from	CP/M and LocoScript 1.
