Changes in CharSet Version 1.1 (Notes for Upgraders)
CharSet v1.1 includes the following changes :-
* Support files & Installation - CharSet is now supplied as an .OPO
file. I think this is preferable when the app doesn't have
multiple associated files (as per word). Simply copy CHARSET.OPO
to the \OPO directory on any drive and the CHARSET.PIC file to
the \OPD directory ON THE SAME DRIVE. Charset should now work on
any drive. Version 1.0 only worked on drive M: (well it was my
first attempt at opl).
* Charset now provides support for external font (.FON) files. The
Psion-F key combination now pops up a dialog from which you can
access and display the character sets contained in these files.
You can also reset the display to the system font from here.
Please note :-
a) If you have an external font with character sizes too large
to display in the 16 cols by 8 rows you're probably going to
get the characters overlapping one another or not fully
displayed. Max character size (for now) is 11x9 pixels.
b) When displaying an external font file, the character
displayed in the status window with the decimal and hex
values is shown using the default system font and not the
external font. I was going to fix this but I then found it
quite useful for exploring character conversions. But let me
know what you think.
Thanks again to everyone on CIX and CIS for their comments.
Cheers,
Chris 21th July, 1992

CharSet Documentation Version 1.1 July 1992
Description:
Charset Provides a full screen (well 2 of them actually) display
of the Series 3 character set ($00 thru $FF).
Installation:
Copy Charset.opo to the \opo directory and Charset.pic to the
\opd directory on any drive. The drive must be the same for
both files.
Operation:
Run Charset. Use the cursor keys to navigate. Use PSION-X to
exit. The MENU key redisplays the initial screen. The HELP key
provides the above information.
Pressing Psion-F will put up a dialog from which you can load an
external .FON file. The reset button in the dialog will reload
the default system font.
That's it.
Disclaimer & Conditions:
You may use Charset completely FREE of charge. However, I will
accept no liability arising from such use. You may distribute
Charset provided that a) all the files contained in CHARS11.ZIP
are included and unamended and b) no charge is made other than
for distribution.
