NAME
     psfs2cpi - Construct a .CPI codepage from one or more PSF files

SYNOPSIS
     psfs2cpi  [--device=DEV]  [--comment=TEXT]  [--drfont] [--nt] [ +CODEPAGE |
     +CODEPAGE=CPNAME ] INPUTFILE [INPUTFILE ...]  [+CODEPAGE INPUTFILE  [INPUT-
     FILE ...]]  OUTPUTFILE

DESCRIPTION
     psfs2cpi combines one or more PSF files into a CPI file.

     When  run,  it takes a list of codepage numbers. Each number should then be
     followed by the names of one or more PSF files, from  which  the  character
     shapes should be obtained. For example, the command:

     psfs2cpi  +437 eg8.psf eg16.psf +850 eg8.psf eg16.psf +860 eg8.psf eg16.psf
     +863 eh8.psf eh16.psf eg.cpi

     will generate a CPI file called eg.cpi, containing codepages 437, 850,  860
     and  863  in  two	sizes. The first three codepages will have been based on
     eg8.psf and eg16.psf; the last on eh8.psf and eh16.psf.

     A codepage number can be followed by a directive saying which mapping table
     will actually be used. For example, if the start of the above  command  had
     read:

     psfs2cpi +437=PPC437 ...

     then  codepage  437  would have been generated using the slightly different
     PPC437 mapping.

     If the PSF files in question have Unicode directories, and the codepage  is
     one  of the ones known to psfs2cpi, then the appropriate glyphs will be ex-
     tracted from the file; this is how three code pages can be based on a  sin-
     gle  PSF  file. If the codepage number is not known, or the PSF file has no
     Unicode directory, then the first 256 characters of the PSF  file	will  be
     used.

OPTIONS
     --device=devname
	    Sets the device name to store in the codepage file. This defaults to
	    "EGA";  if	you  are generating a codepage file for the IBM Convert-
	    ible, it should be set to "LCD".

     --comment=comment
	    Sets a comment which will be added to the end of the CPI file,  such
	    as a copyright message.

     --drfont
	    Outputs in the compressed format used by DRDOS.

     --nt   Outputs in the FONT.NT format used by Windows NT.
