SYNOPSIS

9       psf2wyse  [--bank=BANK] [--dest=DEST] [--height=HEIGHT] [--first=FIRST]
10       [--last=LAST] [--nulls=COUNT] [INPUTFILE [OUTPUTFILE]]

DESCRIPTION

12       psf2wyse converts a font in the .PSF format to a soft-font suitable for
13       use  with Wyse-60 and compatible terminals. The resulting soft-font can
14       be saved as a text file, or just sent straight to the terminal.

OPTIONS

17       --bank=BANK
18              The Wyse-60 has four banks of 128 characters each, numbered 0 to
19              3.  By  default  the first two contain the 16-pixel font used in
20              25-line modes, and the second two contain the 9-pixel font  used
21              in  43-line modes. This option sets the first bank to load into;
22              note that psf2wyse will load into subsequent banks if there  are
23              more characters in the font than will fit into one.
24
25       --dest=DEST
26              Specifies  the  first  character  to populate in the destination
27              bank. By default this is zero.
28
29       --first=FIRST
30              Starts generating the font at character FIRST.
31
32       --last=LAST
33              Finishes generating the font after doing character LAST.
34
35       --height=HEIGHT
36              Sets the height of the characters which will be sent to the ter‐
37              minal.  By  default  this is 16, whatever the height of the font
38              being converted; on a Wyse-60, attempts to define characters  at
39              other heights appear to be ignored.
40
41       --nulls=COUNT
42              After  sending  the  definition for a character, send COUNT null
43              bytes. This appears to be necessary to make  sure  the  terminal
44              doesn't  miss the start of a character while it's still process‐
45              ing the previous character. By default COUNT is 8.

BUGS

49       The terminal screen tends to flicker like crazy while characters not in
50       the current bank are being defined.
