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
       [INPUTFILE ...]]	 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 char-
       acter 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 differ-
       ent 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  extracted  from the file; this is how three code pages can be based
       on a single 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 de-
	      faults to	"EGA"; if you are generating a codepage	file  for  the
	      IBM Convertible, 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.
