This little program allows you to edit Word Perfect EGA screen fonts.
The syntax is:

        C:> sedit infile1.ext infile2.txt out.txt

Infile1 and infile2 are screen fonts (such as EGA512.FRS, EGAITAL.FRS, etc.).
They can be the same file. Out.txt is the new screen font that you
want to produce. SEDIT will load both input fonts into a buffer for
editing, but only the first will be saved on exit (with the name out.txt).
There is a temporary buffer which you can use to transfer characters
from one character value to another. To store a character in the
temporary buffer, simply locate the character with the cursor movement
keys and press a function key. To fetch from the buffer, locate the
destination character with the cursor keys and press Shift-F? where
F? is the function key pressed to store the character.

To edit a character, locate it with the cursor keys, and then press
return. Use the cursor keys to move around on the mat and press <space>
to blank a bit, or any other character to activate a bit. When
you are through, press <ESC> to exit the editing mat. Press <ESC>
again to save the edits and return to DOS.

The source is kinda kludgy. I was in a hurry to get the job done. But I
include it for anyone who might need it. It requires Microsoft
C, version 5.0 to compile. The program itself will run only on a
VGA or EGA monitor. I'm also including a sample new EGA512.FRS file
which has greek and hebrew, as well as a .CHM file which Word
perfect uses to remap the user defined characters to Word Perfect
Font number 12. I hope this helps someone else. I now have a workable
system of Greek and Hebrew in Word Perfect and will perhaps when
I get some time upload all the stuff.

To use the new fonts you must rename the EGA512.FRS file to EGA256.FRS
(you will want to backup the EGA256 file shipped with WP). Then include
the .CHM file in your WORD PERFECT directory. You must also select
the EGA 512 character mode from the WORD PERFECT screen setup menu.
