- What ?
- ------
-
- CTBMAKE converts CTS files to CTB files. CTS files are ASCII files
- that describe how an ASCII character should be sent to the printer.
- They are the "source" for the GEM Spooler character translation
- files: *.CTB
-
-
- Syntax of a CTS file
- --------------------
-
- * marks a line of comment
-
- xxx x: 0, 1, ..., 9 is a decimal number representing an ASCII code
-
- = equals
-
-
- Example:
-
- * Character Table Source file (CTS) for Epson printers
- * December 1991
- *
-
- * Replace the Pt sign with the German B
-
-
- 174 = 27, 55, 2,
- 126,
- 27, 55, 0
-
-
- As illustrated in the example, the list of codes may be longer
- than one line...
-
-
- Starting CTBMAKE
- ----------------
-
- CTBMAKE.TTP is a program that needs parameters... The syntax is:
-
- [drive:path]infile [drive:path]outfile
-
- If you run CTBMAKE from the desktop:
-
- Double click CTBMAKE.TTP and a command line will appear; enter
- the source path and the destination and answer OK.
-
- From a TOS shell:
-
- Enter "CTBMAKE infile outfile" on the prompt line and press the
- RETURN or ENTER key. Example:
-
- ctbmake c:\spooler.cts\epson.cts c:\spooler.ctb\epson.ctb
-
-
- Read the GEM Spooler manual for further information on Character
- Tables.
