SNIPGEN - generate a file that enables SNIP to recognize text in another font

© 1988 John Russell

SNIPGEN is released to the public domain as is, SNIP is freeware.

Usage: snipgen <fontname>

When you run snipgen with a single argument, it creates a file with a name
that ends in ".fontdef" and should be 760 bytes long. This file contains a
bitmap image of the printable characters in the font that SNIP can recognize.

When running SNIP you can give the argument "-f <fontname>". SNIP will search
the current directory and your S: directory for <fontname>.fontdef and if
found will recognize text in that font (and _only_ that font). Snip will only
work with fixed-width, 8 x 8 fonts.

Example:
    snipgen pearl
    copy pearl.fontdef s:
    snip -f pearl   (or snip -K 0 -1 -f pearl if you want to combine arguments)

The Setfont program by Dave Haynie is a popular way to change the default
font used by programs, so I've included it here in order to let you
experiment with different types of fonts.

I've also included the font "pearl 8" and the fontdef file for it that was
created by SnipGen.
