Documentation: FONT RIPPER
--------------------------

To complement with my character editor this is an 8x8 character set ripper.
It is fully compatible with character sets produced by character editor and
can also rip fonts which do not have the extra byte after each data item. I
made the screen as small as possible so that hopefully the ripper itself
does not corrupt important memory areas where the charsets are. That is how
all rippers should be !
The following keys are used:
Left shift = Decrement address by 1 page (i.e. 96 characters)
Left Alt = Decrement address by 1 character
Left Amiga = Decrement address by 1 byte
Right shift = Increment address by 1 page (i.e. 96 characters)
Right Alt = Increment address by 1 character
Right Amiga = Increment address by 1 byte
Ctrl = Toggles extra plane on/off (Note for charsets compatible with
Character Editor V1.0 this must be ON)
Help = Save file (Note: The filename can be passed from CLI as param
after the command name, but if not filename is specified then
"RIPPEDFONT" is taken as default. After performing a save the
Name is slightly changed (Eg. to RIPPEDFONT0,RIPPEDFONT1 etc)
so that many fonts can be ripped by the same go ! )
Arrow up = Search for the equivalent of a space character ( i.e. 8 or 16
empty bytes, depending on the mode )
Arrow down = Search for a possible character set. Note: This search works
by looking for the empty byte in the second plane, and checks
that there are enough spaces for 96 characters. So this mode
only works for the two-plane character sets and also provided
that the second plane is not being used !! It might take some
time to find a possible font. If no possible fonts from the
current address till $7FFFF are found , then the search is
discarded.
Left Mouse = Exit
