=======================================================================
VGAFONT.COM was written by Doug Cox, Jan, 1988, for IBM PS/2 computers
with VGA capability (Models 50, 60, and 80). It just needs a few
changes to work on Models 25 and 30.
It is used to edit the character set (fonts) used by those computers.
When you run VGAFONT, the file VGAFONT.DTA is loaded by the program, if
it can be found on the current disk directory; otherwise, the normal ROM
BIOS character set is put into the program's buffer. When you exit
VGAFONT, you're asked if you want to save the edited character set in
VGAFONT.DTA. If you want to save more than one character set, rename
VGAFONT.DTA. You're also asked if you want to use the edited character
set when you exit.
When a video mode change is made, the character set reverts to the
normal ROM BIOS character set. (Which happens when VGAFONT is run).
When you run VGAFONT:
o The 256 character set is displayed on the screen.
o A font edit box (containing an enlarged version of the character
that the cursor arrow is under) is at the top left of the screen.
o Instructions are at the bottom of the screen.
