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.
