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

SYNOPSIS
     ams2psf [--codepage=CODEPAGE] [--psf1] [--psf2] [INPUTFILE [OUTPUTFILE]]

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 lo-
     cate a font, provided that character zero has not been redefined. This  al-
     lows 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 Lo-
     coScript  2  and  higher,	since they store characters in a different order
     from CP/M and LocoScript 1.
