- SKETOPNT.BAS and FONTOPNT.BAS are programs for the SKETCHPX
- system of programs
-
- SKETOPNT.BAS reads a .SKE file of a graphic screen (arranged as
- 64 rows of 60 bytes each, as created by the SKETCHPX program) and
- converts it to a file of printer graphics (arranged as 8 rows of
- 480 bytes each). This new file can be used to put parts of a
- sketch in a printer file by loading bytes from the file produced
- by SKETOPNT and prefixing them with the appropriate printer
- commands. The BASIC program is slow; be patient or try racing it
- by hand.
-
- FONTOPNT.BAS is also for the SKETCHPX system. It reads the
- definitions of user defined graphic characters in a .FON or .SKE
- file and converts them to one in which they are packed 10 bytes
- at a time with the command sequence to produce them on the
- Seikosha SP-1000as printer (and most Epson printers?). It also
- can be read easily to get the definitions into various other
- programs. The program is BASICally slow, be patient.
