This version of MAKELAND is based upon that found in the archive
SFUTIL. It has been modified to convert Hewlett-Packard style
soft-fonts with 64 byte headers from portrait to landscape style.
It will do so automatically, writing the resultant font to a
filename which is the same as the input filename except that the
last letter of the file's .ext (normally a 'P') will be changed to
an 'L'.
The original MAKELAND from SFUTIL would truncate soft-font headers
to 26 bytes, then write the character headers and data. Restoration
of the headers in the resulting landscape fonts produced by that
program had to be done by using DEBUG to do block moves, filling in
the last 38 bytes of the header manually, and then adjusting the
CX register to reflect the changed length of the file before writing
it out again. Worse, it was extremely tedious to perform these
operations on font files over 64k in length.
Wish I'd thought of doing this before manually restoring the headers on
over 100 landscape font files!
